 Calibration gas: CH4 in natural air.
Calibrations are carried out every 15 minutes using secondary standard tanks, which have been calibrated to primary standards of NOAA04 scale.
 All values are quality controlled
 [Hourly] Only technically biased values are removed (caused by calibration or malfunctioning of equipment).
 [Daily] Take the arithmetic mean of selected halfhourly data if at least 2/3 of the halfhourly values of one day are available.
The average data in 2003 were calculated by WDCGG.
 [Monthly] Take the arithmetic mean of selected daily data if at least 2/3 of the daily values of one month are available.
The average data in 2003 were calculated by WDCGG.
 Flags put on hourly data are as follows.
...- 2005: 1 = valid value, 6 = calibration, 9 = error code
2006 -...: 0 = valid value, 3 = invalid data, 6 = calibration
