Abstract
This paper has its origin via an inadvertent error wherein a length of rubber hose was added to the sampling line of a sulphur gas analyser at the Australian Baseline Station at Cape Grim. This carbon disulphide (CS2) contamination source was removed after a period of 10 weeks. In the interim, substantial data was collected and is here compared with the record of ambient station temperatures. CS2 was found to vary with ambient temperature over both short and monthly time scales. Comparisons of linear, natural log (ln) and log10 correlations yield the conclusion that log10 and ln CS2 emission vs. temperature (°C) associations provide the best correlations. No significant depletion of CS2 emission from the rubber over a 10-week period was detected. Implications for regional and global emission inventories of CS2 and carbonylsulphide (COS) are discussed.
