Excluding this gas when defining the gas constant for air, a new definition is proposed for the virtual temperature Tυ that remains valid for the atmosphere in general but furthermore serves to examine the buoyancy of CO2-rich air in caves and other subterranean airspaces.}, organization = {This work was supported by the Andalusian regional government project GEOCARBO (P08-RNM-3721), by the Spanish National Institute for Agronomic Research (INIA, SUM2006-00010), and also by the European Commission project GHG Europe (FP7-ENV-2009-1).}, publisher = {American Meteorological Society}, keywords = {Temperature}, keywords = {Carbon dioxide}, title = {A new definition of the virtual temperature, valid for the atmosphere and the CO2-rich air of the vadose zone}, author = {Kowalski, Andrew and Pérez Sánchez-Cañete, Enrique}, }
