 The TEI 48C TL is a correlation-filter wheel instrument that required frequent zero-checks (15 minutes every 2 hours) to correct for substantial zero drift. This was accomplished by switching the inlet to the ZERO gas position, to which a Sofnocat unit was connected. Occasionally (but very infrequently), manual span checks were conducted, whereby a zero check was followed by challenging the instrument with CO calibration gas with a mixing ratio around 1 ppm. In March 2004, the set-up was amended with a dilution unit (2 red-y MFCs, a separate zero-air unit (silica gel drying cartridges followed by a pump followed by Purafil and Sofnocat) and a span gas with mixing ratios between 10 and 50 ppm) that was configured to deliver a constant span gas concentration nominally around 400 ppb CO (see below for details). Subsequently, automatic zero/span checks were performed every 2 hours and consisted of 20 minutes zero followed by 10 minutes of span at the beginning of odd hours.
Regular maintenance included changing the zero filter and periodically inspecting and cleaning the cell.
Between 10 October, 2005, and 3 January, 2006, the instrument experienced electronic failure and was shut down. After repair and maintenance, it continued to operate until end of November 2007. Early November 2007, a refurbished Horiba APMA 360 was installed next to the TEI48C TL. Zero and span checks were performed similarly to the TEI setup but intervals were slightly relaxed due to the superior stability of the instruments. Zero and span checks were performed every 4 hours. All standard cylinders used were either prepared or purchased by WCC-Empa and were calibrated against the WMO-2000 scale.
The instruments were audited several times by WCC-Empa. Audit reports are available at https://www.empa.ch/web/s503/wcc-empa.

Calibrations are performed every 10 days with three calibration gases and checking 2 gases (working and target gas) every 2 days. From Feb 2019 until now three calibration gases and 2 gases (working gas dan target gas) prepared by the Central Calibration Laboratory (NOAA ESRL) were used for regular calibrations.
 Raw data were visually inspected and quality assessed prior to zero and span correction. The zero-correction is based on a non-parametric (loess) fitting algorithm to the zero readings obtained regularly by analysis of CO-free air (every 2 hours for 20 minutes). The column 'value_unc' indicates the standard uncertainty of the aggregated values, and does not consider measurement uncertainty.
 [Hourly] Average of 5-minute values. No criterion for minimum data-availability was applied.
From January 2015: averages of 1-minute values, at least 20 1-min values need to be available to compute hourly averages.
 [Daily] Average of 5-minute values. No criterion for minimum data-availability was applied.
From January 2015: hourly averages are use to compute daily averages; at least 8 hourly averages need to be available to report daily averages.
 [Monthly] Average of 5-minute values. No criterion for minimum data-availability was applied.
From January 2015: daily averages are use to compute monthly averages; at least 10 daily averages need to be available to report monthly averages.
 Only data considered as 'valid' are submitted. No background filtering is applied. Episodes of several days or weeks with strongly enhanced CO levels at the station (like in 2014 and 2015) are caused by large-scale biomass burning on Sumatra island.
 Operational/Reporting
 Instruments : A TEI48C TL instrument (S/N 66839-352) was installed by Empa in July 2001. The sample air is drawn from above the roof of the station through a 1/4" Teflon line (ca. 10 m) and is dried using a Peltier cooling element (Hamamatsu, DH-109) and a Nafion dryer (Permapure, PD-625-24PP) operated in reverse flow mode before it enters the instrument. The TEI48C TL was operated as a self-contained unit and measurement as well as auxiliary data (5-minute aggregates) were downloaded periodically from the internal data logger.
Since November 2007, a Horiba APMA 360 analyzer (S/N 890617034) is used; 1-min averages are recorded with a custom-made data acquisition and stored in a database.
All tubing is teflon, inlets are open-face, protected from the rain with an upside-down cup. Inlet filters are used to protect the instruments, and the ambient air is dried using a Nafion dryer.
Scientific Aim : Assessment of air quality, background concentrations, long-range transport of air pollutants, climate change, source apportionment; occasionally, massive influence from biomass burning can lead to strongly elevated CO levels at the station.
