Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a trace constituent present in the Earth’s atmosphere which is produced by the atmospheric oxidation of methane and other alkanes, the oxidation of organic compounds emitted by vegetation, and the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and biomass. The lifetime of an atmospheric CO molecule is relatively short (about 2 to 3 months), and its sources are heterogeneous. This leads to significant variations in concentration and altitude [1].
