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 NOAA/CMDL 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. [Monthly] Take the arithmetic mean of selected daily data if at least 2/3 of the daily values of one month are available. |

Flags put on hourly data are as follows. 1: valid data 3: invalid data |

Valid (background): 1 Invalid: 3 |
