Stratospheric Carbon-14, Carbon Dioxide, and Tritium

Abstract

The results of measurements made in recent years of the C/sup 14/, CO/ sub 2/ and tritium in the stratosphere are presented. The purpose ot the measurements was to obtain information on the stratospheric concentrations of C/ sup 14/ and tritium produced by the explosion of nuclear devices and to study the changes in these concentrations with time.
