\usage{data(co2)}
\alias{co2}
\format{
  A time series of 468 observations; monthly from 1959 to 1997.
}
\description{
  Atmospheric concentrations of CO\eqn{_2}{2} are expressed in parts per
  million (ppm) and reported in the preliminary 1997 SIO manometric mole
  fraction scale.
}
\details{
  The values for February, March and April of 1964 were missing and have
  been obtained by interpolating linearly between the values for January
  and May of 1964.
