This project will support an effort to recover and make available to posterity a larger number of data assets that are part of the iconic Keeling carbon dioxide (CO2) record. The first measurements of atmospheric CO2 to be made with methods of sufficient quality to document changes were those of the late Charles D. Keeling, who initiated a program in the late 1950s at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. This program has continued under the current principal investigator to the present, sustaining the world's longest time series of the ocean and atmosphere, including the well-known Mauna Loa record as well as records from a flask sampling program from an array of stations distributed from the Arctic to the Antarctic.A major component of the study of global climate change is to document changes in the cycling of carbon in the Earth system. This task requires not just ongoing measurements but also careful comparison to records made in the past. Results from this program have been made available through scientific publications, submissions to databases (e.g., CDIAC, the Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center) as well as more recently through a dedicated webpage, http://scrippsco2.ucsd.edu. The publicly available data, however, comprise only a fraction of the total body of measurements made by the program. For example, flask CO2 data from extensive ship, airborne, and land-based surveys from the 1950s to 1980s are unavailable in a form amenable to analysis. In addition, these early data can now be interpreted in the context of reanalysis of observed atmospheric wind fields extending back to the 1950s. Many other valuable resources generated at Scripps are also not available in convenient or "final" form. Multi-decadal records from Barrow, Alaska and at La Jolla itself, comprise overlapping measurements from two or more programs or instruments that have not been suitably merged and reconciled. This project will focus on recovering and posting these data in modern digital formats.Potentially valuable meteorological data remains on hand-recorded log sheets, strip charts, magnetic tapes, computer punch cards, or old computer printouts. The key to unlocking these resources is in the minds of senior personnel who are within a few years of the end of their careers. Corrections to the Scripps manometric scale that result from recently-resolved slow deformation of glass volumes with time remain to be finalized. This project will support a concerted effort to develop readily available datasets from these resources, including recovering raw data, reprocessing as needed, merging with other datasets, addressing issues of calibration, presenting data on the group webpage, and archiving at CDIAC.These activities could enable diverse investigations into the distant future. The work is of very broad importance to society in the context of global climate change. The work will further sustain elements of the Scripps CO2 program which is widely considered as the "true beginning" for stories covering the topic of rising CO2 and global warming.

该项目将支持恢复并为后代提供更多数据资产，这些数据资产是标志性龙骨二氧化碳（CO2）记录的一部分。 已故的查尔斯·D·基林（Charles D. Keeling）的第一个测量方法是用足够质量来记录变化的大气二氧化碳的测量方法。 该计划一直在当前的主要调查员下继续进行，维持了世界上最长的海洋和氛围，包括著名的Mauna LOA记录，以及来自烧瓶采样计划的记录南极北极。全球气候变化研究的主要组成部分是记录地球系统中碳循环的变化。 此任务不仅需要进行进行的测量，而且还需要与过去的记录进行仔细的比较。该计划的结果是通过科学出版物，数据库（例如CDIAC，二氧化碳信息分析中心）的提交以及最近通过专用网页http://scrippsco2.ucsd.edu提供的。 但是，公开可用的数据仅占该程序进行的总测量总体的一小部分。 例如，从1950年代到1980年代的广泛船舶，机载和陆基调查的烧瓶二氧化碳数据无法以分析的形式获得。 此外，这些早期数据现在可以在重新分析的背景下被观察到的大气风田延伸到1950年代。 在Scripps生成的许多其他有价值的资源也不以方便或“最终”形式获得。来自阿拉斯加巴罗（Barrow）和拉霍亚（La Jolla）本身的多年记录包括来自两个或多个程序或仪器的重叠测量，这些测量值尚未合适和和解。 该项目将着重于以现代数字格式恢复和发布这些数据。电位有价值的气象数据保留在手工录制的日志表，条形图，磁带，计算机打孔卡或旧计算机打印输出上。 解锁这些资源的关键是在职业生涯结束几年之内的高级人员的心中。 由于最近解决的玻璃体积缓慢变形而导致的Scripp Scripp Scripp Manom​​etric量表随着时间的推移尚待完成。 该项目将支持一致的努力，以从这些资源中开发易于可用的数据集，包括恢复原始数据，根据需要重新处理，与其他数据集合并，解决校准问题，在组网页上介绍数据以及在CDIAC上存档。对遥远的未来进行多样化的调查。 在全球气候变化的背景下，这项工作对社会至关重要。 这项工作将进一步维持Scripps CO2计划的要素，该计划被广泛认为是涵盖二氧化碳和全球变暖主题的故事的“真正的开始”。
