Continuous
atmospheric measurements from tall towers have the capability to bridge an
observational gap between hemispheric and local scales. We present first
results from measurements made at such a tower in Germany. We show anti-correlated O2 and CO2
high frequency temporal variations which are caused by regional land biotic and
fossil fuel emissions. We also show correlated changes in CO2
concentration with air mass back trajectories, for example showing elevated CO2
from air masses derived from eastern Europe, and lower, “background”
concentrations from air masses derived from the North
Atlantic.
