 CH4 in air
All data was converted in NOAA-04 Scale.
The calibration is performed every three years by NOAA CMDL and the last calibration was terminated in 2011.
 The only selection applied refers to the consistency of values of pairs: if difference more than 10 ppb, the values are rejected. The reported values are the arithmetic mean.

 Operational/Reporting
 Air samples are taken every Friday with two pairs of glass flasks through a chemical water vapor trap, and pressurized at 280-300 kPa.
CO2 concentration is determined at the Laboratory in Lampedusa (ENEA).
Instrument type is CRDS analyzer Picarro G2401. Water vapor is removed by a cold trap (-65 °C) in the measuring phase.
Description of Instruments : The range is set to 1687-2049 ppb, the resolution is +/- 0.1 ppb
Measurement Method : Light absorption analysis (IR, except NDIR)
 Wind direction: 1
 Wind speed: 1
 Relative humidity: 1

Meteorological data may remain as first provided, even when greenhouse gas data are updated.
 The intake height for air sample collection is 10 meters above ground level (55 meters above sea level).
