Abstract

This dataset contains measurements taken from the Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR instrument location at the Weybourne Atmospheric Observatory. The instrument measures CH4, N2O, CO and CO2.

The Weybourne Atmospheric Observatory (WAO) is a Regional station in the Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW) programme of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). It is situated on the North Norfolk coast (52°57’02’’N, 1°07’19’’E, 15 m asl).
