Abstract

Chevallier showed a column CO2 (Embedded Image) anomaly of ±0.5 parts per million forced by a uniform net biosphere exchange (NBE) anomaly of 2.5 gigatonnes of carbon over the tropical continents within a year, so he claimed that the inferred NBE uncertainties should be larger than presented in L... Show moreChevallier showed a column CO2 (Embedded Image) anomaly of ±0.5 parts per million forced by a uniform net biosphere exchange (NBE) anomaly of 2.5 gigatonnes of carbon over the tropical continents within a year, so he claimed that the inferred NBE uncertainties should be larger than presented in Liu et al. We show that a much concentrated NBE anomaly led to much larger Xco2 perturbations. Show less
