Notes
This paper investigates seasonally averaged atmospheric CO2 source or sink signals observed at Waliguan Baseline Observatory (WLG, 36°17′N, 100°54′E, 3816 m asl) in western China from 1991 to 2002. Both linear and geometric mean regressions as well as statistical significance test were performed between detrended CO2 and stable isotope monthly data by means of Keeling Model and Miller-Tans Model. The estimated slope
