On the abundances of carbon dioxide isotopologues in the atmospheres of mars and earth

Resumo

The isotopic composition of carbon dioxide in the Martian atmosphere from the measurements of Mars Science Laboratory have been used to estimate the relative abundances of CO₂ isotopologues in the Martian atmosphere. Concurrently, this study has revealed long-standing errors in the amounts of some of low-abundance CO₂ isotopologues in the Earth’s atmosphere in the databases of spectroscopic parameters of gases (HITRAN, etc.).
