Question:

Estimating uncertainty in Keeling’s CO2 measurements. The manometer in Box 3-2 has the following key uncertainties:

Volume of large vessel: 5.01382 ± 0.0005 L

Volume of small vessel: 3.7930 ± 0.0009 mL

Pressure: ± 0.03 mm Hg in ~ 400 mm Hg

Temperature: ± 0.03 K in ~300 K

Which factor has the largest percent relative uncertainty? If one uncertainty is sufficiently larger than the others, then the uncertainty in measuring CO2 is governed by that factor. Considering just the most uncertain factor, estimate the uncertainty in 400 ppm CO2 in air.
