Atmospheric CO₂ triple oxygen isotope analysis
Sample preparation, CO₂–O₂ exchange, reference materials, precision, notation, and quality control.
Methods
A roadmap for turning laboratory expertise into reusable, citable protocols while preserving method-specific limitations.
Sample preparation, CO₂–O₂ exchange, reference materials, precision, notation, and quality control.
Tracing oxygen-transfer chemistry while distinguishing direct evidence from pathway inference.
Calibration, humidity dependence, temporal averaging, rain–vapor comparison, and event analysis.
Reaction networks, transport, boundary conditions, sensitivity tests, and model–observation comparison.
Sample context, extraction, reference frame, interlaboratory comparability, and interpretation limits.
Versioned data, scripts, environment files, rendered figures, claim ledgers, and archival outputs.
Citation visibility
Each protocol should cite the original method paper, explain subsequent modifications, link the current implementation, and provide a preferred citation. This helps readers use the method correctly while directing credit to foundational work.
