摘要

Because fossil fuel derived CO2 is the only source of atmosphericCO2 that is devoid of 14C, atmospheric measurements of Δ14CO2can be used to constrain fossil fuel emission estimates atlocal and regional scales. However, at the continental scale, uncertaintiesin atmospheric transport and other sources of variability in Δ14CO2may influence the fossil fuel detection capability. Wepresent a set of Δ14CO2 observations from the train-basedTROICA-8 expedition across Eurasia in March–April 2004. Local perturbationsin Δ14CO2 are caused by easily identifiable sources fromnuclear reactors and localized pollution events. The remaining data show anincrease in Δ14CO2 from Western Russia (40° E) toEastern Siberia (120° E), consistent with depletion in 14CO2caused by fossil fuel CO2 emissions in heavily populated Europe, andgradual dispersion of the fossil fuel plume across Northern Asia.Other trace gas species which may be correlated with fossil fuel CO2emissions, including carbon monoxide, sulphur hexafluoride, andperchloroethylene, were also measured and the results compared with theΔ14CO2 measurements. The sulphur hexafluoride longitudinalgradient is not significant relative to the measurement uncertainty. Carbonmonoxide and perchloroethylene show large-scale trends of enriched values inWestern Russia and decreasing values in Eastern Siberia, consistent withfossil fuel emissions, but exhibit significant spatial variability,especially near their primary sources in Western Russia.The clean air Δ14CO2 observations are compared withsimulated spatial gradients from the TM5 atmospheric transport model. Weshow that the change in Δ14CO2 across the TROICA transectis due almost entirely to emissions of fossil fuel CO2, but that themagnitude of this Δ14CO2 gradient is relativelyinsensitive to modest uncertainties in the fossil fuel flux. In contrast,the Δ14CO2 gradient is more sensitive to the modeledrepresentation of vertical mixing, suggesting that Δ14CO2may be a useful tracer for training mixing in atmospheric transport models.
