Abstract
On the basis of the analysis of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration variations and the annual mean air temperature at Syowa Station, Antarctica in the period of 1984–1988, the following results are easily obtained: (1) The annual mean values of the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration are gradually increased and equal to 342.59, 343.80, 345.15, 346.83 and 348.82 ppmv for 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987 and 1988, respectively. Its annual increase rates are 1.21, 1.35, 1.68 and 1.99 ppmv/yr. For 1984–1985, 1985–1986, 1986–1987 and 1987–1988, respectively and are raised year by year. The seasonal variations are observed and the maximum concentration is in spring and the minimum one is in late-summer or early-autumn. (2) The increasing tendency of the concentration of the atmospheric carbon dioxide is consistent with that of the air temperature.
