Processing for Hourly Data: Estimated standard uncertainty for hourly aggregates:
[1991-05-01 thru 1996-03-24] 1.5 ppbv below 15 ppbv, 5 % otherwise;
[1996-03-24 thru 2004-01-01] 0.9 ppbv below 44 ppbv, 2 % otherwise;
[2004-01-01 thru 2008-01-01] 0.9 ppbv below 58 ppbv, 1.5 % otherwise;
[2008-01-01 thru 2009-01-01] uncertainty = [(0.6028 ppb)^2 + (0.0088 *c)^2]^0.5;
[2009-01-01 thru 2010-01-01] uncertainty = [(0.8190 ppb)^2 + (0.0085 *c)^2]^0.5;
[since 2010-01-01] uncertainty = [(0.8351 ppb)^2 + (0.0086 *c)^2]^0.5
