Izotopy trwałe stanowią doskonałe narzędzie do analizy źródeł pochodzenia gazów cieplarnianych. Znając specyficzne sygnatury izotopowe poszczególnych źródeł dwutlenku węgla można określić pochodzenie CO2 nagromadzonego w miejskiej atmosferze. Kwasi-ciągłe pomiary stężenia i składu izotopowego węgla w atmosferycznym CO2 prowadzone w 2013 roku w Krakowie pozwoliły na dokonanie analizy ich zmienności sezonowej oraz synoptycznej. Źródłem obserwowanych zimą zwiększonych stężeń CO2 w atmosferze Krakowa było spalanie, w głównej mierze gazu ziemnego w celach grzewczych. Latem zaobserwowano wpływ suszy na stężenie CO2 w miejskiej atmosferze – z powodu obumierania lokalnej biosfery zmalała jej wydajność fotosyntetyczna, prowadząc do wyższych niż normalnie stężeń tego gazu w miesią - cach letnich. Przeprowadzono również dyskusję przyczyn krótkoterminowych wzrostów stężenia dwutlenku węgla, wykorzystując pomiary jego składu izotopowego oraz analizy trajektorii wstecznych mas powietrza. Zaprezentowane dwa przypadki ilustrują sytuacje, w których za chwilowy wzrost stężenia CO2 odpowiadają źródła przemysłowe oraz komunikacyjne.

Stable isotopes constitute a powerful tool to study the sources of greenhouse gases, especially CO2. Carbon dioxide derived from the burning of fossil fuels has a distinct 13C isotopic composition depending on the type of fuel. Therefore, one can attribute contributions of different emission sources to the total CO2 load in the urban atmosphere. Quasi-continuous measurements of the mixing ratio of atmospheric CO2 and its 13C signature were performed in Krakow in 2013 to analyze its seasonal and synoptic variability. High CO2 mixing ratios were observed in winter due to intensified burning of fossil fuels for heating purposes (mostly methane). During the summer of 2013, a slight increase in atmospheric CO2 was observed following a drought event and a subsequent suppression of the photosynthetic activity of the local biosphere. A high temporal resolution of the measurements allowed to analyze short-term increases of the measured CO2 mixing ratios. Two such events are presented and discussed. Isotopic mass balance combined with air backward trajectory analysis allowed to attribute local traffic and industry as potential sources of these events.
