Towards a stable and absolute atmospheric carbon dioxide instrument using spectroscopic null method

We present a novel spectral method to measure atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) with high precision and stability without resorting to calibration tanks during long-term operation. This spectral null method improves precision by reducing spectral proportional noise associated w...
