Each two hours, the in-situ CO2 record is calibrated against four working standard gases. These gases are calibrated every two months against a set of 6 standard gases, which are themselves verified every year against the primary scale. Eight WMO X93 scale standard gases (calibrated at SIO) are used as primary scale. From 2006, we use a LoFlo instrument that is calibrated once per month against 7 standards calibrated by NOAA in 2002 (WMO x2002 scale). |

[Hourly] (1) Rejection of the periods of analytical problems (2) Selection of the hourly mean values in the following wind sectors : 300° <= WD <= 360° with wind speed >= 5 m/s 0° <= WD <= 50° with wind speed >= 5 m/s 260° < WD < 300° with wind speed > 8 m/s (3) Selection of the periods which include at least 4 consecutive hours in the above sectors [Daily] Take the arithmetic mean of selected hourly data. [Monthly] Take the arithmetic mean of daily data. |

Air is pumped through a WISA II pump at a flow rate of 200 cc min-1 through Dekabon line (Ø=12mm). Air is dried using an ethanol cryogenic trap at -60°C. From 2006 we use a LoFlo NDIR instrument. Air is pumped through a Dekabon Line (Ø=12mm) with a KNF N86 KT pump at about 2 L/min. Air is dried with a Nafion membrane combined to perchlorate magnesium. The geographical situation of the station offers the opportunity to monitor background concentrations in southern mid-latitudes. The scientific aim is to improve our knowledge of the oceanic carbon sink in this area, as well as the emissions from South Africa. Amsterdam Island belongs to an important sampling strategy with the presence of New Caledonia (LSCE & IRD, France), Cape Grim (LSCE & CSIRO, Australia) and Cape Point (SAWB, South Africa) in the same latitude and with a regular sea transect over South Indian Ocean with the french oceanographic ship "Marion Dufresne". |
