Abstract
Two independent programs have collected and analyzed atmospheric CO 2 samples from Point Barrow, Alaska, for radiocarbon content (Δ 14 C) over the period 2003–2007. In one program, flask collection, stable isotope analysis, and CO 2 extraction are performed by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography’s CO 2 Program and CO 2 is graphitized and measured by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. In the other program, the University of California, Irvine, performs flask collection, sample preparation, and AMS. Over 22 common sample dates spanning 5 yr, differences in measured Δ 14 C are consistent with the reported uncertainties and there is no significant bias between the programs.
