To extend the
vertical mixing ratio measurements up to the top
of the planetary boundary layer occasionally air
samples have been taken over the tower by means
of a small aircraft. The samples were analyzed
for several greenhouse gases (CO2,
CH4, N2O, SF6,
CO, CO2 stable isotope composition)
by Laboratorie des Sciences du Climate et de l'Environnement,
Gif-sur-Yvette, France.
From the beginning of 2006 until January, 2009
frequent in situ airborne CO2 mixing ratio profiles
have been measured using gas analyzer made by
AOS, Inc.
The temporal resolution of the profile was 1 second.
Those measurement have been performed in the framework
of the CARBOEUROPE-IP project.
