“…However, a divergence in the [CO] growth rate emerges in the NH between models and observations over the 1920–1980 period, attributed to uncertainties in CO emission factors (EFs), particularly EFs for the RCO (residential, commercial, and other) and transportation sectors, although we cannot totally rule out the possibility that the CO record based on the Greenland ice archives may be biased high by CO chemical production processes occurring in the ice prior<span id="page1106"/> to the measurements (i.e. in situ CO production).
