Thursday saw both unusually low carbon dioxide concentrations and a relatively flat pattern across the 24 hours. The most likely explanation is the same as for 26 Jun – stronger than normal winds (20 km/h at 9 a.m. and 26 km/h at 3 p.m. recorded at Archerfield, and both, unusually, from due west). This would tend to bring in air from outside the urban area, and less influenced by anthropogenic sources. Future analysis will look more closely at wind direction effects as they could throw some light on urban carbon dioxide concentrations.
