 The quadratic fitting curve is determined every 8 hours by a set of 4 working standard gases of CH4-in-natural air mixtures in different concentrations. The mole fraction is determined by this fitting curve (Jan. 2008 - present). The linear fitting curve was determined every 12 hours by a set of 2 station working standard gases of CH4-in-natural air mixtures in different concentrations (Jan. 1998 - Dec. 2007).
 The raw data from instrument is collected by the data acquisition system, and stored in the system as every 10 minutes raw data (or 30 seconds mean data, Jan. 1998 - Dec. 2007). CH4 measurements are checked every day from the headquarters through the network every day. All irregular measurements and information are recorded in a log book. Finally, the measurement data are checked and validated by the contributor at the headquarters every month.
 [Hourly] Hourly data are taken from the arithmetic mean of observed data for one hour after the irregular and evident error data are rejected. For the details of background hourly data, please refer to https://www.data.jma.go.jp/gmd/env/ghg_obs/JMA_flag.html
 [Daily] Daily data are taken from the arithmetic mean of background hourly data. For the details of background hourly data, please refer to https://www.data.jma.go.jp/gmd/env/ghg_obs/JMA_flag.html
 [Monthly] Monthly data are taken from the arithmetic mean of background hourly data. For the details of background hourly data, please refer to https://www.data.jma.go.jp/gmd/env/ghg_obs/JMA_flag.html

 Operational/Reporting
 Sample air is discretely sampled into the analyzer and analyzed every 10 minutes (Jan. 2008 - present). Continuous flow of 3.5 liters per minute, data was analyzed every 30 seconds (Jan. 1998 - Dec. 2007).
