Dear All,
I'd like to request an addition to the standard name list for atmospheric 14CO2
measurements. Here are the details of the proposed standard name.
Proposal for a new standard variable name
Name: mole_fraction_of_14C_dioxide_in_air
Canonical Units: 1
Description: Atmospheric 14CO2
I think that delta-14CO2 is not the same thing as the mole fraction. Rather, it
is an expression of isotopic enrichment/depletion with respect to a standard.
Whilst I have no experience of atmospheric 14C, I have come across delta
notation a lot with other isotopes in geology and oceanography
