The CO2 series co2law, for Law Dome ice core data. is from http://cdiac.ornl.gov/trends/co2/lawdome.html.
The CO2 series co2mlo is from Dr. Pieter Tans, NOAA/ESRL (https://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/ccgg/trends/)
The series CO2 is a composite series, obtained by adding 0.46 to he Law data for 1900 to 1958, then following this with the Moana Loa data that is avaiable from 1959. The addition of 0.46 is designed so that the averages from the two series agree for the period 1959 to 1968
