This dataset therefore includes data from installation in May 2015 - February 2017. The South tower is currently operational as of April 2018 through the ACT-America project. The files in the directory "raw_data" are daily files from the instruments. These are 1-3 second frequency, uncalibrated. North: Picarro serial number FCDS2048. Flag = 1 indicates sample from tower. Calibration tanks are as follows: Flag CH4(ppm) delta13CH4(permil) CO2(ppm) 2 CB10825 (NOAA/INSTAAR) 1867.59 -47.264 399.71 6 CA05551 (Scott-Marrin/PSU) 1926.8 -23.67 N/A 3 CA06418 (Scott-Marrin/PSU) 9701 -38.31 N/A South: Picarro serial number FCDS2046 (CFBDS2042 used for concurrent testing May-July 2016). Flag = 1 indicated sample from tower. Calibration tanks are as follows: Flag CH4(ppm) delta13CH4(permil) CO2(ppm) 2 CB10727 (NOAA/INSTAAR) 1868.33 -47.241 399.68 3 CC114999 (Scott-Marrin/PSU) 1999.2 -23.72 N/A 6 CA05330 (Scott-Marrin/PSU) 10152 -38.68 N/A Central: Picarro serial number FCDS2047 (CFADS2401 used as temporary instrument July-December 2016). Flag = 1 indicates sample from tower. Calibration tanks are as follows: Flag CH4(ppm) delta13CH4(permil) CO2(ppm) 2 CB10734 (NOAA/INSTAAR) 1878.53 -47.254 397.09 3 CA06438 (Scott-Marrin/PSU) 2064.6 -23.8 398.25 6 CA05419 (Scott-Marrin/PSU) 10534 -38.48 400.14 East: Picarro serial number FCDS2049. Flag = 4 indicates sample from tower. Calibration tanks are as follows: Flag CH4(ppm) delta13CH4(permil) CO2(ppm) 5 CB10718 (NOAA/INSTAAR) 1867.94 -47.264 399.67 3 CA06357 (Scott-Marrin/PSU) 2079.7 -24.02 N/A 6 CA06410 (Scott-Marrin/PSU) 10414 -38.52 N/A
