23 paź 2020 · Key Points. Carbon isotopes, 14 C and 13 C, in atmospheric CO 2 are changing in response to fossil fuel emissions and other human activities. Future simulations using different SSPs show continued changes in isotopic ratios that depend on fossil fuel emissions and, for 13 C, BECCS.
1 gru 2019 · TDLAS measures the mixing ratios of stable isotopes of carbon dioxide in the air (e.g., the isotopologues, 12 C 16 O 2, 13 C 16 O 2 and 16 O 12 C 18 O) by comparing the infrared absorption of sample and reference gases in a specific absorption line of the spectrum (Santos et al., 2012).
1 paź 2019 · We discuss carbon isotope ratios as tracers in atmospheric carbon dioxide and methane, along with DIC, DOC, and methane in ocean and pore waters. We then address carbon isotope ratios of organic matter and foraminiferal carbonate in relationship to their ambient sea-water isotope composition and their utility as non-conservative proxies.
25 wrz 2024 · The two stable isotopes of nitrogen (15 N ≙ 0.3663% of atmospheric N atoms, 14 N ≙ 99.6337% of atmospheric N atoms) are fractionated during many biological metabolisms that take up a form of nitrogen from the environment.
28 wrz 2011 · The stable isotope ratios of atmospheric CO2 (18O/16O and 13C/12C) have been monitored since 1977 to improve our understanding of the global carbon cycle, because biosphere–atmosphere exchange...
99% 12C/C, 1% 13C/C, and 1 × 10−12 14C/C. 12C and 13C are stable isotopes while 14C is a radioactive isotope called radiocarbon. Radiocarbon is formed naturally in the upper atmosphere from cosmogenic radiation, which produces neutrons that react with atmospheric nitrogen. Because the isotopic composition of carbon
23 kwi 2024 · Key points. Carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur have naturally occurring stable isotopes. Variations in their relative distribution within molecules can provide information relevant...
