 [Hourly] The data acquisition system provides one value every five minutes raw data. Zero/calibration factors and data protocols are used to convert raw data into calibrated data. Invalid data caused by local impact, malfunction or other effects are detected by comparison and correlation with other trace substances and meteorological data and also with information from the station logbook and then are rejected. 30 min mean values are generated by calculating the arithmetic mean of the remaining data with more than 2/3 of all data. For reporting to WDCGG hourly mean values are calculated from these half hourly data.

 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

Meteorological data may remain as first provided, even when greenhouse gas data are updated.
 The height of the meteorological sensors has changed in 2006 from 10m above station level (1205m) to 35m above station level. This is visible in the increase of the windspeed data.
