Deriving Emissions related to Climate Change Network: N20, SF6, CO, H2 and other trace gas species measurements from Heathfield Tall Tower S. O'Doherty, D. Say, and K. Stanley http://data.ceda.ac.uk/badc/gauge/data/tower/heathfield/

Short summary

Under the UK GAUGE project, two new greenhouse gas observation sites were established in the 2013/2014 winter at two telecommunications towers. A combination of spectroscopic and chromatographic instrumentation was used to measure CO₂, CH₄, CO, N₂O and SF₆. The advantages and disadvantages of two CRDS sample drying strategies, Nafion(R) and empirical water correction, were also examined.
