Calibration
Current scale employed in the measurement : Internationally intercompared scale, TORR project
Measurement calibration : calibration gases: reference to NO.
Scale and calibration(treasability) : Internationally intercompared scale, TORR project


Data Processing
Measurement unit : ppb
Data processing : All values are quality controlled
Processing for averaging : Processing for Hourly Data:
Only technically biased values are removed (caused by calibration or malfunctioning of equipment).
Processing for Daily Data:
Take the arithmetric mean of selected harfhourly data if at least 2/3 of the halfhourly values of one day are available.
Processing for Monthly Data:
Take the arithmetric mean of selected daily data if at least 2/3 of the daily values of one month are available.
Data flag : Flags put on hourly data are as follows.
1: valid value
6: calibration
9: error code
Data remarks :
