AbstractA 13-year (1990–1996, 1999–2004), hourly air CO<sub>2</sub> record measured on a 40 m tower in northern Canada is analyzed against interpolated marine boundary layer CO<sub>2</sub> data representing the free troposphere above the tower. In warmer years, the planetary boundary layer was more depleted with CO<sub>2</sub>, suggesting that the land area (10<sup>3</sup>–10<sup>4</sup> km<sup>2</sup>) upwind of the tower sequestered more carbon. After using a novel approach to derive the photosynthetic flux from the air CO<sub>2</sub> diurnal variation pattern, it is confirmed that boreal ecosystem photosynthesis increased more than ecosystem respiration in warmer years.
