The increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is one of the main causes of global warming. Remote sensing technology has become an important means of monitoring the distribution of carbon dioxide gas. By remotely monitoring the temporal and spatial distributions of atmospheric carbon dioxide, people can further deepen their understanding of the global carbon process. The GOSAT (Greenhouse Gases Observing SATellite) CO2 L4B concentration data from 2010 to 2015 were validated using local station atmospheric data. The spatial and temporal distributions of the carbon dioxide concentration and its variation characteristics were analyzed. Based on the total primary productivity data and human emissions of carbon dioxide data, the influencing factors of spatial variations in carbon dioxide were analyzed. The results show that: (1) The correlation coefficient between GOSATL4B data and ground-measured data is above 0.95, which indicates that the remotely acquired data have high precision and stability. (2) The spatial distribution characteristics of carbon dioxide at different atmospheric pressure heights are quite different. The variation in the long-term series mean of carbon dioxide concentration levels at 17 vertical heights was studied. The fluctuations in concentration changes at different height levels vary, and the closer to the surface, the greater the fluctuation is. The near-surface carbon dioxide concentration (975 hPa) has the largest fluctuation. When the atmospheric pressure is low (for example, 150 or 100 hPa), the high carbon dioxide concentration region is banded and concentrated near the equator. The trends in carbon dioxide concentration over land and sea surfaces are similar, and the common pattern is that the concentration of carbon dioxide has been increasing. (3) The near-surface carbon dioxide concentration (975 hPa) has clearly different spatial characteristics. There are four high-value centers across the globe: East Asia, western Europe, the US East Coast, and Central Africa. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the Northern Hemisphere near the ground is higher than that in the Southern Hemisphere. The fluctuation in the Southern Hemisphere is relatively small, and the trend is opposite that in the Northern Hemisphere. (4) The concentration of carbon dioxide showed a significant growth trend during the study period. By studying the change characteristics of the monthly global average at the 975 hPa level (approximately 300 m above sea level) from January 2010 to October 2015, it can be seen that the global CO2 concentration has been above 400 ppm for most of the year, and it is increasing each year. (5) Compared with the Southern Hemisphere, the cyclical changes in carbon dioxide concentration in the Northern Hemisphere are obvious and large, while the trend in the Southern Hemisphere is relatively stable, and the change is small. There are opposite trends in the cyclical changes in the carbon dioxide concentration in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. When the carbon concentration in the Northern Hemisphere resides over the annual high-value area, the Southern Hemisphere has a low-value area of carbon dioxide concentration every year. In addition, the change in carbon dioxide concentration during the year is obvious with seasonal changes. This should be related to changes in vegetation phenology and different seasons in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. (6) Four countries in East Asia (Korea, Mongolia, Japan and China) from 2010 to 2014 were selected to analyze the relationship between GPP (gross primary production) and near-surface carbon dioxide concentration. These two factors have a significant inverse correlation. When carbon dioxide is at a minimum, the GPP is at its peak, and when carbon dioxide reaches its peak, the GPP reaches a minimum. The above relationship fully indicates that terrestrial ecosystems play an important role as carbon sink contributors in the carbon cycle. (7) The relationship between atmospheric carbon dioxide and carbon dioxide data from human activities from the Global Atmospheric Research Emissions Database was analyzed. The former is significantly and positively correlated with carbon dioxide emissions caused by human activities, indicating that human activities are an important factor in the increase in carbon dioxide.

Global warming is caused by the increasing amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change defines carbon dioxide (CO), methane (CH:), nitrous oxide (N0) fluorocarbons (HFC), holocarbon (PFC), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF.) Six gases are divided into the main greenhouse gases, of which CO, the largest proportion of emissions, is an important man-made greenhouse gas." As the main gas affecting the global greenhouse effect (75%), the amount of CO in the atmosphere has increased from 315 ppm in 1958 to 417 ppm in 2022, and global annual CO emissions have increased from 27 Pg to 49 Pg% over the past 40 years. Therefore, under the background of deep reinforcement learning, it is a problem that all countries pay more attention to predict the concentration emission of carbon dioxide to cope with the severe situation of climate warming. In order to obtain the radiative forcing value under the influence of carbon dioxide concentration, a simplified net radiative flux model is established. Based on the radiative transfer equation, this model can calculate the net radiative flux and radiative forcing of each layer of the atmosphere due to changes in carbon dioxide concentration. The results are compared with the RRTMG-LW long-wave radiative transfer model of American Center for Atmospheric and Environmental Research (AER) under the same factor, and the error is less than 1%.

Permeation properties were analyzed for a mixture of CO2, O2, and N2 in a medium-size polysulfone hollow fiber permeator with a net permeation area of 4.22 m2. Measurements were conducted as a function of feed composition, reject flow rate, and feed pressure. Results included variations in species permeability, separation factor, permeate enrichment, reject depletion, and stage cut as a function of system parameters. Variations in permeation properties show strong dependence on feed composition, reject flow rate, and feed pressure. Permeability of carbon dioxide was higher at larger feed pressures and higher carbon dioxide content in the feed stream. Effect of increasing the reject flow rates on the permeability of carbon dioxide was affected by the system pressure and the carbon dioxide content in the feed stream. At low pressures, increase of the reject flow rate resulted in a decrease of carbon dioxide permeability. The opposite behavior was obtained at higher feed pressures. Increase of the reject flow rate reduced the gas residence time within the permeator. Increase of reject flow rate reduced species residence within the permeator and in turn increased resistance to species transport within the permeator. However, higher system pressures and carbon dioxide content in the feed stream resulted in larger levels of membrane plasticization, which increased the permeation rates of all species. The combined efféct of reducing the species residence time within the permeator and the level of membrane plasticization favored the permeation of carbon dioxide versus the other two species. Variations in other permeation properties, which include oxygen and nitrogen permeabilities, stage cut, permeate enrichment in carbon dioxide, and reject depletion in carbon dioxide, were also explained in terms of resistances encountered within the permeator and the membrane.

Lactic acid, carbon dioxide and human sweat stimuli were presented singly and in combination to femaleAedes aegypti(Linnaeus) within a wind-tunnel system. The take-off, flight, landing and probing responses of the mosquitoes were recorded using direct observation and video techniques. The analyses determined the nature of the response to different stimuli and the concentration ranges within which specific behaviours occurred. A threshold carbon dioxide concentration for taking-off of approximately 0.03% above ambient was detected. Lactic acid and human sweat samples did not elicit take-off when presented alone, however, when they were combined with elevated carbon dioxide, take-off rate was enhanced in most of the combinations tested. Flight activity was positively correlated with carbon dioxide level and some evidence for synergism with lactic acid was found within a narrow window of blend concentrations. The factors eliciting landing were more subtle. There was a positive correlation between landing rate and carbon dioxide concentration. At the lowest carbon dioxide concentration tested, landing occurred only in the presence of lactic acid. Within a window of low to intermediate concentrations, landing rate was enhanced by this combination. At the highest carbon dioxide concentration, landing was however inhibited by the presence of lactic acid. The sweat extract elicited landings in the absence of elevated carbon dioxide. This indicated the presence of chemical stimuli, other than lactic acid, active in the short range. Probing occurred only at low carbon dioxide concentrations and there was no probing when lactic acid alone was tested. There was however probing in the presence of combined stimuli, the level of response seemed to be positively correlated with the ratio of carbon dioxide and lactic acid concentrations.

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) and orchard grass (Dactylis glomerata L.) plots were exposed to ambient or ambient plus 350 cm3 m-3 carbon dioxide concentrations at Beltsville, Maryland, U.S.A. Replicate plots were established in different years and fertilized annually. We report here data for the second and third years after establishment. There has been no increase in the yearly production of either species at the elevated carbon dioxide concentration after the first sea- son. In orchard grass, reduced growth at the high carbon dioxide concentration in the spring offset growth stimulation in the summer. Weed growth was consistently increased by carbon dioxide enrichment, but weed species composition was unaffected. Leaf photosynthetic capacity was reduced by the high carbon dioxide concentration in both crop species, as was leaf nitrogen content. Canopy carbon dioxide uptake was slightly higher in the elevated carbon dioxide treatments, consistent with the increased weed growth. In alfalfa, elevated carbon dioxide significantly reduced canopy carbon dioxide
