| Zusammenfassung |
| We present 2.5 years (from June 2006 to December 2008) of in-situ measurements of
CO2, O2, CH4, CO, N2O and SF6 mixing ratios sampled
from 23, 90 and 163 m above ground on the Ochsenkopf tower in the
Fichtelgebirge range, Germany (50°01'49" N, 11°48'30" E, 1022 m a.s.l.).
In addition to the in-situ measurements, flask samples are taken at
Ochsenkopf at approximately weekly intervals and are subsequently analysed
for the mixing ratios of the same species, as well as H2, and the
stable isotopes, δ13C, δ18O in CO2. The
in-situ measurements of CO2 and O2 from 23 m show substantial
diurnal variations that are modulated by biospheric fluxes, combustion of
fossil fuels, and by diurnal changes in the planetary boundary layer height.
Measurements from 163 m exhibit only very weak diurnal variability, as this
height (1185 m a.s.l.) is generally above the nocturnal boundary layer.
CH4, CO, N2O and SF6 show little diurnal variation even at 23 m
owing to the absence of any significant diurnal change in the fluxes and
the absence of any strong local sources or sinks. From the in-situ record,
the seasonal cycles of the gas species have been characterized and the
multi-annual trends determined. Because the record is short, the calculation
of the trend is sensitive to inter-annual variations in the amplitudes of
the seasonal cycles. However, for CH4 a significant change in the
growth-rate was detected for 2006.5–2008.5 as compared with the global
mean from 1999 to 2006 and is consistent with other recent observations of a
renewed increasing global growth rate in CH4 since the beginning of
2007. |
