 Until 2016, the CGR system was manually calibrated every three months by using a set of 6 commercial standards (synthetic air) traced back to a set of n.3 calibration standard from NOAA-GMDL (CB11039, CB11164, CB10928). Each calibration event included three single injections (60 minute each). Starting from 2017, a NOAA-GMDL standard (ND01759, provided by ENEA, Laboratory for Observations and Analyses of Earth and Climate, Lampedusa.) was available at CGR and was used to calibrate the measurements each month (each week starting from 2018) by scaling the measured concentration. To minimise the mixture consumption, a single injection is performed every week (duration: 45 minutes). The injection of standard is followed by the injection (45 minutes each) of two target gases (real air matrix). Starting from 1st June 2022, two real-air matrix calibration standards linked to WMO standards and one short-term target gases were used. Three cycle of calibration injections are carried out every 7 days, while target gas is injected every 24 hours.
 Data are recorded on a 5 s basis by the Picarro internal PC and mirrored to a station server, then delivered in NRT mode to ISAC-CNR HQ in Bologna, where 1-minute averages were calculated. An outlier rejection methodology (based on that described by El Yazidi et al., AMT, 2018) is applied to the 1-minute time series before calculation of hourly average values. On an hourly basis standard deviation values data were flagged to identify local contamination (see Data Quality Flag).

For all the instruments and Observatories, information on instrument functioning and intervention are stored in an e-logbook.

1-minute data and metadata are visually inspected on a daily basis by an HTML page reporting the last 48h of available measurements and instrumental internal parameters. Data and metadata are further analyzed on a monthly/seasonal/quaterly basis.
Final aggregation to hourly average are executed using validated 1-minute data (i.e. by excluding calibration records, missed records and local-contaminated records).

Quality assurance procedures involve time series plots, consistency checks on co-variability with other gas parameters, meteorology and aerosol for special events.
 [Hourly]
 [Daily] YEAR 2015-2016
Daily mean values were obtained by averaging hourly mean data flagged as "...L" or "...S".

YEAR 2017 - onwards
Daily mean values were obtained by averaging hourly mean data with standard deviation lower than 0.3 ppm
 [Monthly] YEAR 2015-2016
Monthly means are produced by first averaging all hourly mean values flagged as "...L" or "...S" on a weekly basis and these weekly values are averaged for each month to give the monthly means.

YEAR 2017 - onwards
Monthly means are produced by first averaging daily mean values on a weekly basis and these weekly values are averaged for each month to give the monthly means.
 YEAR 2015-2016
"I..." missed data
".V.." large variability of CO2 within one hour (hourly CO2 standard deviation larger than 0.30 ppm)
"..D." hour-to-hour difference higher than 0.25 ppm
"...L" data recorded under land breeze wind regime
"...S" data recorded under sea breeze wind regime

YEAR 2017- onwards
Flag 0.390 indicates data completeness under 50% for 1-hour mean value calculation.

 Operational/Reporting
 Capo Granitola Observatory is located along the southern Sicily coastline facing the Strait of Sicily, at Torretta Granitola (12 km from Mazara del Vallo, 52,000 inhabitants), within the scientific campus of the Institute for the Marine-Coastal Environment (CNR-IAMC). CGR location is affected by the sea-land breeze regime, with prevailing gentle wind breezes (up to 4 m/s) from inland (NW-NE) during the night and prevailing winds from the sea (W-SE) during daytime.
CO2 observations are performed with a commercially available instrument (Picarro Inc. G2401) based on the Wavelength-Scanned Cavity Ringdown Spectroscopy technique coupled to a custom-built calibration unit. Along with CO2, the instrument is also capable to measure CO, CH4 and H2O. Thus, the CO2 data can be corrected for interferences of remaining water traces. CO2 reading were further corrected for water vapor intereference by using the empirical humidity correction provided by Chen et al. AMT, 2010.
The air intake is composed of a Teflon tube (length: 2600 mm) with 50 mm inner diameter. An upper hood (Teflon-coated) is used to prevent rain penetration inside the sampling intake. Air is sampled 1.5 m above the station roof. Internal temperature and relative humidity are continuously monitored and temperature is keep 4 Celsius degrees higher than ambient temperature to prevent condensation. Flow is maintained constant minimizing (below 5 s) the residence time of sampling inside the air intake. Flow as well as internal T and RH are continuously monitored and recorded by the acquisition system.
1/4” (OD) Synflex 1300 tubes is used to connect the air intake manifold.
