Value_unc is estimated uncertainty of the reported measurement value. For measurements using gas chromatography, aliquots of gas from ambient air samples and a cylinder of reference gas are alternately injected into a gas chromatograph (GC) with a sampling valve. Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is separated from other sample components using packed columns and detected with an electron capture detector (ECD). The response of the ECD to SF6 is calibrated off-line about monthly relative to the reference with a suite of standards. Each aliquot of sample is measured relative to the same reference, and SF6 values are calculated from the response function. The average repeatability of the analytical system is approximately 0.04 ppt. Reproducibility for our measurements (1 sigma) is approximately 0.01 ppt, based on repeated analysis of air from a high-pressure cylinder, or the long-term variability in the differences between measurements of test flasks on the sample analysis system and separate measurements on the calibration system of the test gas used to fill the test flasks. Scale-propagation uncertainty is estimated to be 0.01 ppt, based on the reproducibility determined for scale propagation in our calibration laboratory. These three components of uncertainty are added in quadrature to calculate the measurement uncertainty. |

[Hourly] [Daily] [Monthly] Monthly means are produced for each site by first averaging all valid measurement results in the event file with a unique sample date and time. Values are then extracted at weekly intervals from a smooth curve (Thoning et al., 1989) fitted to the averaged data and these weekly values are averaged for each month to give the monthly means recorded in the files. Flagged data are excluded from the curve fitting process. Some sites are excluded from the monthly mean directory because sparse data or a short record does not allow a reasonable curve fit. Also, if there are 3 or more consecutive months without data, monthly means are not calculated for these months. |

| This is the NOAA 3-character quality control flag. Column 1 is the REJECTION flag. An alphanumeric other than a period (.) in the FIRST column indicates a sample with obvious problems during collection or analysis. This measurement should not be interpreted. Column 2 is the SELECTION flag. An alphanumeric other than a period (.) in the SECOND column indicates a sample that is likely valid but does not meet selection criteria determined by the goals of a particular investigation. For example, it might not have been obtained during 'background' conditions. Column 3 is the INFORMATION flag. An alphanumeric other than a period (.) in the THIRD column provides additional information about the collection or analysis of the sample. A P in the 3rd column of the QC flag indicates the measurement result is preliminary and has not yet been carefully examined by the PI. The P flag is removed once the quality of the measurement has been determined. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
