Constraining the carbon tetrachloride (CCl<sub>4</sub>) budget using its global trend and inter‐hemispheric gradient
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4 ) is a major anthropogenic ozone‐depleting substance and greenhouse gas and has been regulated under the Montreal Protocol. However, the near‐zero 2007–2012 emissions estimate based on the UNEP reported production and feedstock usage cannot be reconciled with the observed slow decline of atmospheric concentrations and the inter‐hemispheric gradient (IHG) for CCl 4 . Our 3‐D model simulations suggest that the observed IHG (1.5 ± 0.2 ppt for 2000–2012) is primarily caused by ongoing current emissions, while ocean and soil losses and stratosphere‐troposphere exchange together contribute a small negative gradient (~0 – −0.3 ppt). Using the observed CCl 4 global trend and IHG, we deduce that the mean global emissions for the 2000–2012 period are Gg/yr (~30% of the peak 1980s emissions) and a corresponding total lifetime of years.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
