Fig. 18-11 Records of atmospheric CO2 in Antarctica for the past 1000 years. Open circles are ice-core data from Law Dome, on the coast of east Antarctica (Etheridge et al., 1996). Plus signs are direct measurements of CO2 in air samples collected monthly at the South Pole (NOAA Climate Monitoring and Diagnostics Laboratory, Boulder, Colorado).

The Climate Monitoring and Diagnostics Laboratory of die National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration provides up-to-date graphs and illustrations on the changes in various atmospheric components, such as carbon dioxide, methane, chlorofluorocarbons, and many more. 

This address itemizes the atmosphericprcjects of the Climate Monitoring and Diagnostic Laboratory of the Mauna Loa Weather Observatory. Links to the Network for the Detection of Stratospheric Changes are included.

Figure 2 Global distribution of atmospheric CH4 from 1992 to May 1, 2001. Three-dimensional latitudinal distribution of CH4 in the marine boundary layer is presented. The surface represents data from the NOAA/CMDL cooperative air sampling network smoothed in time and latitude (source National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Climate Monitoring and Diagnostics Laboratory (CMDL), Carbon Cycle Greenhouse Gases).

Figure 6.22. Observations of CH3CCI3 and CFC-11 from the Atmospheric Lifetime Experiment/ Global Atmospheric Gases Experiment (ALE/GAGE) and Climate Monitoring and Diagnostics Laboratory (CMDL) databases, respectively. The projections from the baseline emission scenario of WMO/UNEP (1998) are shown for comparison. The scenario includes estimated industrial production and emission for each year (including the effects of delayed release in some applications such as refrigeration, see WMO/UNEP, 1998). The methyl chloroform data show a rapid decline observed in recent years due to reduced emissions and the 5-year lifetime of this gas (Prinn et al, 1995 WMO/UNEP, 1998), while the CFC-11 abundances have just passed their peak (Elkins et al, 1993 Montzka et al, 1996 updated courtesy of J. Elkins and S. Montzka) and are projected to decline slowly in the future due to the 50-year lifetime of this gas. From Solomon (1999).
