Sampling Frequency

3 hours

Measurement Calibration

Injection of whole air standards, precision is on the order of 0.3-0.4%
Scale : Ambients are quantified against NOAA(CC324514, 2066.611) and NOAA(CB08849, 1864.339) standards.

Data Processing

Data for daily medians were filtered by removing points outside the second standard deviation of a 24-point (~3 day) moving median.

Processing for averaging

[Hourly]
[Daily] Data are daily medians, derived from 1 to 20 samples in a day. Most daily averages are derived from 6-8 samples, taken roughly 3 hours apart.
[Monthly]

Description

Data are daily medians, derived from 1 to 20 samples in a day. Most daily averages are derived from 6-8 samples, taken roughly 3 hours apart. Average of 7-8 ambient samples per day. Each ambient sample is analyzed and quantified using a standard injection taken within 10 minutes of the sample.
These measurements were funded through the US National Science Foundation (NSF) Arctic Observing Network (AON) grant #1108391.
