Description

The LBNL-led carbon project, and its associated suite of instruments first deployed in 2001, are in the process of becoming a part of the ARM baseline instrument suite. One of these instrument, AOSGHG, is part of the ARM standard collection of instruments and component of the Aerosol Observing System (AOS). We report on the status of ground-based measurements of atmospheric greenhouse gases from continuous analyzers and flask samplers, and carbon, water, and energy fluxes, at Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Climate Research Facility observatories in the U.S. Southern Great Plains (SGP), Eastern North Atlantic (ENA), North Slope of Alaska (NSA), and the third ARM Mobile Facility (AMF3) deployed at Oliktok Point, Alaska.
