The instrument is calibrated against three standards. The instrument output CO2 concentration signal is compared to the referenced standards. Due to the linear response guaranteed by the instrument, the calibration consists in finding a linear relation between the instrument signal and the standards. The calibration procedure is repeated about every three months or at higher frequency if some problems related to the instrument come in evidence. The comparison between the instrument response and the referenced standard is performed twice for every calibration procedure: the first time the instrument is fed with increasing CO2 concentration standards, while the second it is fed by decreasing them. |

|
The analyzer samples the CO2 concentration at 5 seconds intervals, which are aggregated in 10-minute averages, which are manually corrected. 10-minute averages corrected are used to calculate hourly averages, which are, in turn, used to compute daily averages. From daily averages we calculate monthly averages. We also apply a data selection procedure. Just some of the hourly averages originated by manually corrected 10-minute values are chosen to compute daily averages (these daily values differ from previous daily values). Selection procedure is illustrated in section "processing on hourly data". Daily data obtained after selection procedure are used to compute monthly values. |

[Hourly] The hourly averages are selected by an adapted Thoning et al. [1989]Mauna Loa procedure in order to consider only background hourly values when definitive daily averages are performed. The selection procedure is characterized by 6 steps plus another step applied only in summertime: 1. Temporary rejection of hourly averages with a standard deviation larger than 0.35 ppm. 2. Temporary rejection of every hourly average with a difference higher than 0.3 ppm respect to the previous one. 3. Temporary rejection of data from 9 to 21 due to local vegetation effects (only in summertime). 4. Application of a cubic spline in order to fit daily averages computed from hourly values not previously rejected. 5. Temporary rejection, for each day, of those hourly concentrations which differed from the curve by more than twice the standard deviation for that day. 6. Readmition of each rejected hourly value in steps 1-2-3 far from the curve less than 0.4 ppm at the day relative to that hourly value. 7. Repetition of steps 4, 5 and 6 until no hourly values are removed or added. [Daily] [Monthly] |
