All air samples were analyzed for H2 at the NOAA GML laboratory in Boulder using gas chromatography with a Helium Pulse Discharge Detector (Novelli et al., 2009). All measurements are referenced to the WMO/MPI X2009 calibration scale. Between 2009 and July 2019, we used a single standard calibration strategy as the response characteristics of the instrument, Gas Chromatography with a Pulsed Discharged Helium Ionization Detector, has been shown to be linear over a range of 0 to 2000 ppb H2 (Novelli et al., 2009). Since August 2019, we use a multi-standard calibration strategy (normalized to a reference air tank) for the flask analysis system instrument, MAGICC-3. These calibration episodes were conducted biweekly early on and are now performed every 4 to 5 weeks. Instrument drift between calibration episodes is corrected by normalization to a reference tank. The calibration response results for the H2 standards normalized peak heights are valid until the next calibration episode. |

| One sigma total uncertainties are provided. They are calculated from two terms: short term repeatability and calibration scale propagation uncertainty. To get the total uncertainty variance, terms are added in quadrature. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

[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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
