Abstract

The large variability of atmospheric carbonic gas measurements prior to the International Geophysical Year is illustrated with the case of the Scandinavian measurements in the 1950s. We show how David Keeling revolutionized these measurements by the introduction of physical methods, and his difficulties in getting these measurements recognized as a research activity by the main American financing Agencies.
