length of record required to compute the initial magnitude and growth rate with a
given probability that these parameters are at least the estimated value.
Measurement errors, consisting of errors from the instrument, computation of the
instantaneous fluxes from the radiance measurements and computation of the time
averaged parameter from the instantaneous values are included in the present study.
These measurement errors will be of the same magnitude, and thus indistinguishable,
from the natural variations of fluxes and will simply add to the variations. The
question of how much longer will it take to detect the effect of CO2 due to
measurement errors is treated with these simulations.
