Description
The increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is changing the earths climate. Climate change will cause periods of extremely high daily temperatures, increase the frequency of heavy rainfall, intensify droughts, increase the maximum wind speed of cyclones, and cause sea levels to rise. The unavailability of low-cost, high-performance atmospheric carbon dioxide analyzers constrains the efforts of environmental scientists to monitor carbon dioxide at local, regional, and global scales with the coverage needed to advance our understanding of climate change processes.
