 Operational/Reporting
 ICOS atmospheric station
Observational timeseries of ambient mole fraction of N2O in dry air, composed of (all whenever available) historical PI quality-checked data, ICOS Level 2 data and ICOS NRT data.

The following uncertainty estimates are used:
a. Continuous Measurement Repeatability: monthly average of the standard deviations of short-term target raw data over 1-minute intervals
b. Long Term Repeatability: standard deviation of the averaged short-term target measurement intervals (of 10 minutes every 5 hours approximately) over three days
c. Short Term Target Bias: difference between the hourly average of the short-term target injections and the value assigned by the calibration lab
The method used for "value_unc_1" is "Continuous Measurement Repeatability". The method used for "value_unc_2" is "Long Term Repeatability". The method used for "value_unc_3" is "Short Term Target Bias".
More information about the uncertainty estimates can be found in Yver Kwok et al. (2015) (https://doi.org/10.5194/amt-8-3867-2015) and Yver-Kwok et al. (2021) (https://amt.copernicus.org/articles/14/89/2021/).
