Processing for Hourly Data:
The data acquisition system provides one value every five minutes raw data. Zero/calibration factors and data protocols are used to convert raw data into calibrated data. Invalid data caused by local impact, malfunction or other effects are detected by comparison and correlation with other trace substances and meteorological data and also with information from the station logbook and then are rejected. 30 min mean values are generated by calculating the arithmetic mean of the remaining data with more than 2/3 of all data. For reporting to WDCGG hourly mean values are calculated from these half hourly data.
Processing for Daily Data:
Take the arithmetic mean of selected half hourly data with the number of data more than 31.
Processing for Monthly Data:
Take the arithmetic mean of selected half hourly data with the number of data more than 960. |
| Data flag |
: |
Hourly
...- 2005: 1 = valid value, 6 = calibration, 9 = error code
2006 -...: 0 = valid value, 3 = invalid data, 6 = calibration |
