Abstract

Chevallier showed a column CO_2 (X_CO_2) anomaly of ±0.5 parts per million forced by a uniform net biosphere exchange (NBE) anomaly of 2.5 gigatonnes of carbon over the tropical continents within a year, so he claimed that the inferred NBE uncertainties should be larger than presented in Liu et al. We show that a much concentrated NBE anomaly led to much larger X_(CO_2) perturbations.
