manual zero and span calibration every 2 weeks Scale and Calibration (traceability): From 12/1999 until 01/2001: NMI PRM AC11 (10ppm ± 0.08ppm); from 01/2001 until 05/2006: NIST SRM 1677c(10ppm ± 0.05ppm); from 05/2006 to 12/2011: NIST SRM 2612a (10ppm ± 0.12ppm); consistent with WMO-2000; from 12/2011 to 12/2016: NPL PRGM 221708SG in synth. air (10ppm ± 0.04ppm); NPL is traceable to NIST (refer to the NPL homepage) from 01/2017: NPL PRGM NG677 in synth. air (10ppm ± 0.05ppm); since 12/2021:NPL PRGM 2851 in synth. air (3.983ppm ± 0.020ppm); NMI/NPL standards are compared to WMO scales and agree within their uncertainties |

Quality assurance procedures involve time series plots, consistency checks. Up to 12/2017: aggregate calculations based on 10-minute aggregates with greater than 75% availability Since 01/2018: threshold.1h <- 4 # minimum number of 10-min averages per hour; i.e. mean value is set to NA if number of available data is 1, 2, or 3. threshold.1d <- 16 # minimum number of hourly averages per day threshold.1m <- 18 # minimum number of daily averages per month |

[Hourly] [Daily] daily] Estimated standard uncertainty for daily aggregates: [1999-12-17 thru 2008-01-01] 2.4 ppbv below 120 ppbv, 2 % otherwise; [2008-01-01 thru 2009-01-01] uncertainty = [(0.0141ppm)^2+(0.0125*c)^2]^0.5; [2009-01-01 thru 2010-01-01] uncertainty = [(0.0191ppm)^2+(0.0070*c)^2]^0.5; [2010-01-01 thru 2016-01-01] uncertainty = [(0.0208ppm)^2+(0.0069*c)^2]^0.5; [2016-01-01 thru 2019-01-01] uncertainty = [(0.021 ppm)^2+(0.028*c)^2]^0.5; Since 2019-01-01 uncertainty = [(0.015 ppm)^2+(0.028*c)^2]^0.5 [Monthly] |
