     Atmospheric concentrations of CO2 are expressed in
     parts per million (ppm) and reported in the preliminary
     1997 SIO manometric mole fraction scale.

     A time series of 468 observations; monthly from 1959 to
     1997.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s_:

     The values for February, March and April of 1964 were
