Sampling Frequency

Unknown

Measurement Calibration

NOAA04 scale (a gravimetrically-prepared CH4 standard scale) results in CH4 mole fractions that are a factor of 1.0124 greater than previous NOAA methane measurement scale (Dlugokencky et al., 2005).

Data Processing

1. All data with obvious sampling or instrument operation problems are rejected.
2. The hourly data divide into two groups, background and pollution, by a statistical method.
3. To eliminate local effect, the hourly data in the following wind sectors are rejected.
WD=67.5° with wind speed < 22 m/s
WD=22.5, 45, 90, 112.5° with wind speed < 11 m/s
wind speed < 3 m/s
4. The daily data with the number of hourly data less than 7 are rejected.
5. Daily data are calculated from selected hourly data.
6. Monthly data are calculated using the daily data.

Processing for averaging

[Hourly] 1. All data with obvious sampling or instrument operation problems are rejected.
2. The hourly data divide into two groups, background and pollution, by a statistical method.
3. To eliminate local effect at a pollution group, the hourly data in the following wind sectors are rejected.
WD=67.5° with wind speed < 22 m/s
WD=22.5, 45, 90, 112.5° with wind speed < 11 m/s
wind speed < 3 m/s
4. The daily data with the number of hourly data less than 7 are rejected.
[Daily] Daily data are calculated from selected hourly data.
[Monthly] Monthly data are calculated using the daily data.
