CO2 measurements from flask-air samples were recalculated onto the X2019 CO2 mole fraction scale by first reassigning all standards used on the CO2 analysis sytems to X2019. CO2 values on X2019 from air samples were caluclated by reprocessing the original raw files (i.e., files with raw analyzer output (typically voltages)) with the updated assignments for the standards. A detailed description of the scale revision from X2007 to X2019 is given in Hall et al. (2020), but the main reasons were to correct biases caused by CO2 absorption by O-rings in the manometric calibration system and to correct a virial coefficient used in the calculation. The magnitiude of the differences between X2019 and X2007 varies with CO2 abundance, and is typically between 0.1 and 0.2 ppm. Some differences from the late-2000s and early-2010s are larger (up to ~0.3 ppm) because of a mis-assigned standard on the system used to transfer the scale to working standards. Measurements prior to ~1980 from early analytical systems (instrument codes LR1 and LR2) could not be reprocessed onto X2019; they remain on a CO2 scale originally developed at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. |

[Hourly] Starting in about 1986 (depending on site), minute average or 10 second average values of the analyzer output are recorded, and an hourly average and standard deviation of the ambient mole fraction CO2 is calculated (prior to about 1986, the standard deviation was not available). The value_std_dev takes into account the analyzer standard deviation, so normally it is not 0 even if nvalue=1. A value_std_dev value of 0.0 or -99.99 would indicate times when the analyzer output standard deviation for the hour is not available. For spectrometer systems and for the SPO NDIR system starting in January 2018, 5-minute averages are used to calculate hourly averages, but value_std_dev includes variability in the 5-min averages, so it is greater than the normal sample SD of the 5-min averages that go into the hourly mean, and when nvalue=1 (i.e., one 5-min average in the hourly mean), value_std_dev is still calculated and reported.

| 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. 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. | |
