Zusammenfassung |
We present results from an intercomparison program of CO2,
δ(O2/N2) and δ13CO2 measurements from
atmospheric flask samples. Flask samples are collected on a bi-weekly basis
at the High Altitude Research Station Jungfraujoch in Switzerland for three
European laboratories: the University of Bern, Switzerland, the University of
Groningen, the Netherlands and the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry
in Jena, Germany. Almost 4 years of measurements of CO2,
δ(O2/N2) and δ13CO2 are compared in this paper to
assess the measurement compatibility of the three laboratories. While the
average difference for the CO2 measurements between the laboratories in
Bern and Jena meets the required compatibility goal as defined by the World
Meteorological Organization, the standard deviation of the average
differences between all laboratories is not within the required goal.
However, the obtained annual trend and seasonalities are the same within
their estimated uncertainties. For δ(O2/N2) significant
differences are observed between the three laboratories. The comparison for
δ13CO2 yields the least compatible results and the required
goals are not met between the three laboratories. Our study shows the
importance of regular intercomparison exercises to identify potential biases
between laboratories and the need to improve the quality of atmospheric
measurements. |
