Seven-year continuous measurement of CO2 and CH4 at Atlas Mohammed V atmospheric research station in Northwest Africa
Abstract
First long-term continuous CO 2 and CH 4 record in North Africa.
• Annual growth rates are consistent with regional and global Northern Hemisphere trends. • HYSPLIT clustering reveals strong seasonal variability in air mass origins influencing AMV. • Seasonal ΔCH 4 /ΔCO 2 ratios identify distinct emission sources across the four seasons. • Cross-wavelet analysis shows strong CO 2 -CH 4 coherence at seasonal scales and more variable, event-driven coupling at synoptic scales.
