摘要

Because fossil fuel derived CO2 is the only source of atmospheric CO2 that is devoid of Δ~(14)C, atmospheric measurements of Δ~(14)CO_2 can be used to constrain fossil fuel emission estimates at local and regional scales. However, at the continental scale, uncertainties in atmospheric transport and other sources of variability in Δ~(14)CO_2 may influence the fossil fuel detection capability. We present a set of Δ~(14)CO_2 observations from the train-based TROICA-8 expedition across Eurasia in March-April 2004. Local perturbations in Δ~(14)CO_2 are caused by easily identifiable sources from nuclear reactors and localized pollution events. The remaining data show an increase in Δ~(14)CO_2 from Western Russia (40° E) to Eastern Siberia (120° E), consistent with depletion in ~(14)CO_2 caused by fossil fuel CO_2 emissions in heavily populated Europe, and gradual dispersion of the fossil fuel plume across Northern Asia. Other trace gas species which may be correlated with fossil fuel CO_2 emissions, including carbon monoxide, sulphur hexafluoride, and perchloroethylene, were also measured and the results compared with the Δ~(14)CO_2 measurements. The sulphur hexafluoride longitudinal gradient is not significant relative to the measurement uncertainty. Carbon monoxide and perchloroethylene show large-scale trends of enriched values in Western Russia and decreasing values in Eastern Siberia, consistent with fossil fuel emissions, but exhibit significant spatial variability, especially near their primary sources in Western Russia.The clean air Δ~(14)CO_2 observations are compared with simulated spatial gradients from the TM5 atmospheric transport model. We show that the change in Δ~(14)CO_2 across the TROICA transect is due almost entirely to emissions of fossil fuel CO_2, but that the magnitude of this 114CO2 gradient is relatively insensitive to modest uncertainties in the fossil fuel flux. In contrast, the Δ ~(14)CO_2 gradient is more sensitive to the modeled representation of vertical mixing, suggesting that Δ~(14)CO _2 may be a useful tracer for training mixing in atmospheric transport models.
