Purpose

This research is important for the following reasons:

-To develop a long-term European observation system to measure almost all of the important gases species in the Montreal Protocol (e.g. CFCs and HCFCs) to protect the ozone layer and most of the significant non-CO2 gases in the Kyoto Protocol (e.g. HFCs) involved in the atmospheric radiative forcing and climate change.

-To accurately document the global distributions and temporal behavior of the biogenic/anthropogenic gases CH3Cl, CH3Br, CH2Cl2, and CHCl3.

-To provide an accurate data base on the rates of accumulation of trace gases over the globe which can be used to test the synoptic-, regional- and global-scale circulation predicted by three dimensional models and/or to determine characteristics of the sources of these gases near the stations.

Statement: Calibration of working standard is performed every month with the same instrument but comparing with a Gold Standard, a tank filled and calibrated at Mace Head station by University of Bristol, in the frame of the AGAGE network. All the concentration are reported in the SIO05 / SIO07 /UB98 scale, depending on compoundss
