Can ambient atmospheric temperatures mask CO2 detection?

Where could this happen? What are the consequence's?Can ambient atmospheric temperatures mask CO2 detection?
Yes soil gases, or in this case magmatic CO2 has displaced other natural gases. This occurs more frequently around potential volcanic prominence as noted by Mammoth Mountain in California. Excessive intrusion can afflict root zones of plants and trees. Higher and lower elevations can create pockets at certain temperature fluctuations.Can ambient atmospheric temperatures mask CO2 detection?
No. But the location of the CO2 sensor can seriously affect the data, e.g., if a CO2 sensor were set up on the big island in Hawaii it would register a much higher concentration that if it were placed between the continents in the Pacific ocean.


Sensor placement is critical to those who are compiling statistics and presenting sides of their CO2 case.
no but co2 can effect data
