WDCGG 20090625
2
Outline What is WDCGG How WDCGG works Data information –Data type –Data format download
3
GAW programme –six GAW World Data Centres (WDCs) Greenhouse Gases Ozone/ UV Precipitation Chemistry Solar Radiation Aerosols Remote Sensing of the Atmosphere What is WDCGG
4
Gathering parameters greenhouse gases and related gases in the atmosphere and the ocean
5
GAW Station Information System (GAWSIS) An up-to-date, searchable database – station descriptions –measurement programmes – GAW network –parameters of greenhouse gases. http://gaw.empa.ch/gawsis/
6
Gas measurement parameters Measurement parameter Parameter code –Carbon dioxide co2 –Methane ch4 –Nitrous oxide n2o –sulfur hexafluoride sf6 –…………
7
Classifications -according to the observation platforms or methods Air sampling observation at ground-based stations Air sampling observation for vertical profiles (e.g. multi-height observation using a tower) Air sampling observation by mobile platforms (e.g. aircraft, ships, etc.) Ice core observation Surface seawater and overlying atmosphere observation Hydrographic sampling observation by ships
8
Fixed stations
9
Temporal representation of gathering data one-minute mean (mobile only) ten-minute mean hourly mean Daily mean monthly mean event sample data
10
Data type Observation data: –measurement data gas mole fractions relevant data (data flag, standard deviation, the number of data used to average, etc.) (optional) coincident ancillary data (associated meteorological data). (optional) measurement locations (latitude and longitude, etc.) (mobile platforms). –Metadata
11
Observation data: –measurement data –Metadata additional information for observation –observatory locations, Sampling conditions, –measurement methods, calibrations, –traceability of employed scale, –Quality management information, etc. to keep metadata up-to-date Data type
12
Data format header part,space-delimited, fixed length data part. the data part : FORTRAN fitting format. Each file contains mole fraction values of only one parameter ancillary data such as meteorological data are stored in a different file from the mole fractions file.
13
Example - a gas mole fractions file 01 TITLE: Observation title (parameter, temporal representative, etc.) 02 FILE NAME: File name …………… C30 COMMENT: DATE TIME DATE TIME DATA ND SD F CS REM 1987-01-01 01:00 9999-99-99 99:99 345.100 41 1.368... 0 -99999999 1987-01-01 02:00 9999-99-99 99:99 352.350 21 2.142... 0-99999999
