Bef\r\nore 2024-09-25 a G2301 with serial number CFADS2649 was used, and between 2024-09-25 and 2025-07-14 a G2401 with serial number CFKADS2532 was used. These are all combined into a single \"virtual\" instrument here. All analysers used cavity ringdown spectrocopy (CRDS) to make in situ measurements of CO2 and CH4 in the near-infrared region - see Crosson et al.
