Abstract 9

InGOS will support and integrate the observing capacity of Europe for non-CO2 greenhouse gases (NCGHG:CH4, N2O, SF6, H2 and halocarbons). The emissions of these gases are very uncertain and it is unknownhow future climate change will feedback into the land use coupled emissions of CH4 and N2O. The NCGHGatmospheric abundances will increase further in the future and the emissions of these gases are an attractivetarget for climate change mitigation policies.InGOS aims to improve the existing European observation system so that this will provide us insight into theconcentration levels and European and extra-European emissions of the NCGHGs. The data from the networkwill enable to better constrain the emissions of NCGHGs within the EU and show whether emission reductionpolicies are effective.The data from the network is designed to allow to detect the spatial and temporal distribution (hotspots) of thesources and to detect changes in emissions due to mitigation and feedbacks with climate change.To strengthen the European observation system, the project has several objectives:• Harmonize and standardize the measurements.• Provide capacity building in new member states and countries with inadequate existing infrastructure.• Support existing observation sites and transfer of selected sites into supersites.• Integrate and further integrate marine observations of the NCGHGs with land-based observations• Improve measurement methods by testing new innovative techniques and strategies.• Test advanced isotope techniques for application in the network to enable attribution of the atmosphericfractions to source categories• Integrate data for network evaluation by using inverse modeling and data-assimilation methods anddevelopments in bottom up inventories• Link the network to remote sensing data of column abundances from in-situ and satellite observations• Prepare for the integration of the NCGHG network with the Integrated Carbon Observation System

This WP will ensure an adequate management and coordination of InGOS in all scientific,technical, administrative, financial, and legal matters and the day-to-day management tasks. RHUL (EuanNisbet) will be responsible for the coordination of the training and capacity building activities.The specific tasks are summarized as follows:

Task 1.1: Contractual, legal, and financial project management – led by ECN (Alex Vermeulen)WP1 will be in charge of the financial and administrative management. It will take care of the distribution of theCommunity financial contribution between the contractors and activities in accordance with the contract and thedecisions taken by the consortium, and ensure that all the appropriate payments are made to contractors. It willmonitor the compliance by beneficiaries with their contractual obligations.WP1 will ensure that the tasks specified in the contract are carried out in a timely manner. In collaboration withthe project partners it will be responsible for compliance to the Consortium agreement.

Task 1.2: Reporting annual progress - led by ECN (Alber Bleeker)WP1 will ensure an efficient liaison with the European Commission by providing progress and financial reports,reviewing their consistency, and keeping records on the distribution of Community’s financial contribution toproject partners and fulfillment of duties in accordance with the EC contract. It will ensure overall compliancewith agreed project objectives in liaison with the project partners and will monitor the progress of InGOS to makesure that project milestones and deliverables are met on schedule.

Task 1.3: Organizing annual project meetings - led by ECN (Albert Bleeker)Progress meetings will be organized by WP1 to enhance the communication flow within the Consortium. It willchair the General Assembly and Executive Steering Committee and prepare the meetings, agendas, and draftthe minutes.

Task 1.4: InGOS web portal - led ECN by (Alex Vermeulen)An InGOS website will be set up that will serve as a is platform for information exchange among partnersand associated partners (http://www.ingos-infrastructure.eu). It will also provide an outreach to end users,the international scientific community, and the general public. It will cover project information and links todifferent project activities, and the descriptions of the InGOS infrastructures. An up to date agenda of upcomingworkshops/meetings as well as information on opportunities for transnational access and application procedureswill be provided. It will also make a link with the service activity data centers and the calibration facilities.For internal use a password-protected area will serve as a platform for exchange of information between theInGOS consortium members and associated partners and as internal document depository (official documents,



workshop minutes, presentations, reporting material, etc.). WP1 will be in charge of creating and maintaining theInGOS web portal.

Task 1.5: Managing TNA - led by ECN (Arjan Hensen)WP1 will be in charge of organizing and managing the transnational access activities, including advertisementof access opportunities, preparing and publishing the call for TNA, organizing the review and selection processin collaboration with the User Selection Panel, ensuring communication with the user groups, collecting the TNAuser reports and making them available through the InGOS web portal.

Task 1.6: Internal and external communication and dissemination – led by ECN (Arjan Hensen)WP1 will manage the internal dissemination of knowledge and communication flow via internal project web andby electronic means via mailing lists. It will coordinate the promotion and dissemination of project results. Theexternal dissemination of knowledge and communication will be ensured via appropriate platforms: the publicInGOS web portal, peer-reviewed publications, presentation in international conferences, as well as projectmeetings and workshops to which international collaborators of the project, representatives of other networks,and stakeholders will be invited to participate.

Task 1.7: External partnership - led ECN (Arjan Hensen)The implementation of an “InGOS partnership” will aim to link InGOS to institutions outside of the Consortium.This will be implemented by WP1 in close cooperation with the Executive Steering Committee.WP1 will organize third party participation and implement the legal framework in order to protect the intellectualproperty rights and foreground acquired during the project (e.g., preparation of non-disclosure agreementsbetween associated partners and the Consortium).

Task 1.8 Capacity building led by RHUL (Euan Nisbet)Training and capacity-building activities are vital parts of the InGOS infrastructure. This task therefore groups aset foreseen training activities, thereby facilitating capacity building. Lab access and training will also occur onan as-needed basis, to bring scientists not having access to state-of-the-art labs to Europe's best analytical labs.Access will be by application and in some cases by invitation, especially for groups considering investment orupdating measurement, to familiarise users with new equipment. Timing will be flexible with need. ECN will holdtravel funds for eastern European and developing nation scientists.

Pedagogic Workshops and training courses: workshops to be held on various topics (e.g. major newmeasurement advances, state of the art modelling methodology) of key interest to the study of non-CO2greenhouse gases.

Workshops at:ECN, Petten. ECN will provide training workshops in parallel to major experiments carried out in JRA 1-6.The concept is that (younger) scientists will be able to visit ongoing experiments for hands-on experience ofstate-of-the-art experimental techniques.UHEI Heidelberg Germany, for greenhouse gas measurement skills workshops,RISOE Roskilde, Denmark, for a N2O skills workshop,PULS Poznan, Poland, will provide a summer school with focus on Eastern European training,

Outreach to new usersWorkshop and training options will be posted on the InGOS website and announced via the network of InGOSpartners. Significant funds are allocated to central management (ECN) specifically to fund travel for EasternEuropean and developing nation users. A key part of this task is to show new users the capabilities of thenew techniques both in measurement and modelling. Workshops and facilities will be advertised by webpageand, by invitations to potential new participants, both in expanding lab groups (e.g. in Southern Europe) andnew labs (e.g. in Africa, Eastern Europe, Asia). Greenhouse gas measurement is global in scope and theinternational participation is expected to be very strong. Nearly all of the leading European groups have veryactive international programs in African and Asia, and partnerships with US/Canadian/Australian groups.

Work package number 53 WP2 Type of activity 54 COORD

Work package title NA2: Correction and harmonisation of historic concentration measurements

Start month 1

End month 36


Objectives

The overall objective of this WP is to evaluate and harmonise the existing atmospheric data base for inversemodelling of CH4, N2O and H2 fluxes in Europe (cf. JRA3). This will be done by critical inspection of the existingGHGs measurements of the last 10 years (2001-today) in Europe. We will re-evaluate the calibration historyincluding quality control information. The aim is to obtain reliable estimates of the uncertainties of the individualGHGs data sets when used in the inverse modelling exercises in WP15 (JRA3) of this project.The following specific objectives are defined:- Develop adequate procedures for non-linearity corrections of N2O and H2 measurements,- Create, from up to 22 existing continuous atmospheric CH4, N2O, and H2 measurement records (Table 2.1 -Annex in Part B) in Europe, a quality-controlled and harmonised data set for each trace gas to be used in WP15(JRA3),- Set up a static filter 222Radon daughter measurement system which can be used as a travelling instrumentvisiting up to 5 sites in Europe with different 222Radon measurement techniques,- Estimate data correction factors for the different 222Radon measurement records and create a harmoniseddata set for model comparison in WP15 (JRA3).


Description of workWP2 (NA2) is led by UHEI (Ingeborg Levin). The work is closely linked to that of WP3 (NA3 Harmonization andquality control of future measurements of CH4, N2O, SF6 and H2), as the correction procedures developed hereas well as the quality control measures shall be implemented at all InGOS sites for future measurements. Themain output of the present WP (i.e. harmonized GHGs data sets) will be used in WP15 (JRA3, Integration ofdata with models). The sites and data sets included in WP2 (NA2) are listed in Table 2.1 (Annex in Part B). Thework is separated into three tasks as follows:

Task 2.1: Development of data correction and evaluation procedures – led by UHEI (Samuel Hammer),contributors: MPG, CEA, all groupsWe will develop common procedures for evaluation, as well as (re-)calibration and non-linearity corrections tobe applied to the data sets from the participating sites listed in Table 2.1 (Annex 4 in Part B). These procedureswill first be tested with a few records (Heidelberg, Gif sur Yvette and Schauinsland) and then communicatedto all groups and discussed during a dedicated workshop to be organised by UHEI within the first 6 months ofthe project. Harmonisation of the different data sets will possibly require recalibration of existing station primarystandards at MPG (via WP10, TNA4). This re-calibration will allow transfer of all nationally used calibrationscales to the internationally accepted WMO scales.

Task 2.2: Evaluation of historical CH4, N2O and H2 data sets – led by CEA (Martina Schmidt), contributors:UHEI, all groupsAll groups will re-evaluate their “historical” records of continuous atmospheric CH4, N2O and H2 raw data sets,including calibration history as well as non-linearity determinations. Based on the new laboratory standardcalibrations from Task 2.1, raw data will be re-evaluated, and improved non-linearity corrections applied. In asecond step, all available quality control information (such as regular target gas analyses) and inter-comparisoninformation, e.g. from parallel independent analyses of flask samples collected at the sites or round-robinexperiments, the uncertainty of the different measurement records will be estimated. This work will be done for



each component measured (i.e. CH4, N2O and H2) at all sites included (see Table 2.1 - Annex in Part B). It willbe supported by training workshops performed regularly and organised by CEA and UHEI. Final measured datasets will be compared to model simulations from WP15 (JRA3) and jointly evaluated with the modelling groupsinvolved.

Task 2.3: 222Radon comparison – led by UHEI (Ingeborg Levin), contributors: CEA, FMI, AGH-UST, EMPAA travelling 222Radon monitor (static filter instrument developed by UHEI within the ICOS-PP project) willbe set up. This monitor is easy to be transported, installed and maintained at the stations; however, due tothe static filter method used (i.e. 222Radon activity is determined via its aerosol-bound daughter activity of214Polonium) the monitor can not be operated at tall tower sites with long air intake lines (>50m). The UHEIinstrument will be run for a limited period of time (2-3 months each) at a number of stations which conduct222Radon measurements using a different measurement principle (e.g. ANSTO system). At least five differentmeasurement systems in different locations (i.e. mountain sites, coastal site, lower level of tower sites) will becompared within this task. Selected sites are Pallas, Mace Head, Schauinsland, Jungfraujoch, and Trainou.Comparison data will be evaluated, and correction factors for potential data harmonisation determined. Thesecorrections can be applied when using 222Radon for model validation in WP15 (JRA3).

Work package title NA3: Harmonisation and quality control of future measurements of CH4, N2O andH2

Start month 1

End month 48


Objectives

The overall objective of this WP is to improve the quality of CH4, N2O, SF6 and H2 measurements at the 22InGOS stations and to make them available for inverse modelling of European fluxes (WP15 - JRA3). This willbe reached by establishing a common harmonized measurement and quality control procedure at all InGOSstations. In addition to the high precision data, which needs very intensive quality control procedure and willbe only available with a time delay of several months, near-real-time data, with a lower precision, will be madeavailable for validation of satellite measurements. Finally the WP will have a role in traing and capacity building.The following specific objectives are defined:- Harmonized and quality controlled network of atmospheric in-situ CH4, N2O, SF6, H2 from up to 22 Europeanstations (in cooperation with WP2 - NA2) ,- Near-real time data, which can be used for validation of satellite measurements,- Extension and Improvement of existing efficient Intercomparison (ICP) exercises,- Feasibility study of the usefulness and application of travelling quality control instrument.


WP3 is led by CEA (Martina Schmidt). The work is closely linked to that of WP2 (Correction and harmonisationof historic concentration measurements) as the correction procedures developed in WP2 will be used as basisto develop a new quality control strategy to be implemented at all InGOS stations. The main output of this workpackage (harmonized N2O, CH4, H2 and SF6 measurements) will be used by WP15 (Integration of data withmodels). The work package is separated in five tasks.

Task 3.1: Improvement of in situ measurement precision and comparability – led by CEA (Martina Schmidt),contributors: all groupsContinuous GHG (CH4, N2O, SF6, H2) observations of 21 existing measurement sites in Europe will beperformed (see part B in Annex 4). The network contains stations under background conditions and alsoselected stations which are under polluted or moderately polluted conditions. All stations are equippedwith GC measurement systems, but not all of them achieve the precision recommended by WMO for GHGmeasurements. It is the target to improve this at the end of the project. This will be achieved via improvementsin analytical methods and harmonize measurement protocol (calibration strategy, non-linearity correction) andtransfer of expertise in training courses.

Task 3.2: Near-real time data transmission of CH4, N2O, SF6 and H2 – led by CEA (Jerome Tarniewicz),contributors: all groupsPartner CEA will implement a near-real time data transmission in addition to the normal data acquisition by thestation PI. With an automated routine, the station PI will make available calculated mixing ratios of CH4, N2O,SF6 and H2 a few hours after data acquisition. Mixing ratios are automatically transferred to CEA FTP serveronce per day, with an intermediate quality and a lower target precision (±15 ppb for CH4, ±1.5 ppb for N2O, ±0.5ppb for SF6 and ±20 ppb for H2). This data records are used to produce graphs for the four trace gases for allstations. The daily updated graphs will help the station PIs to validate the performance of their instrumentation.Data of the last 20 days will be made available to the scientific community interested in this product e.g. forvalidation of satellites and total column FTIR measurements.



Task 3.3: Efficient ICP exercises including their evaluation – led by UEA (Andrew Manning), contributors: allgroupsThe successful comparison program for high-pressure gas cylinders set-up in CE-IP and IMECC will beextended for CH4, N2O, SF6 and H2. In addition to European GASLABS (MPG, UHEI, LSCE, UEA) theInter-comparison program will include as well 4 non-European labs and also all 21 field stations participating intask NA 3.1. All inter-comparison results from this activity will be collected, analysed and regularly presented ona website by Partner UEA.

Task 3.4: Feasibility study of the usefulness and applicability of travelling QC instrumentation – led by UHEI(Samuel Hammer ), contributors: MPG, CEAThe ultimate test of the quality and comparability of measurements in a monitoring network is their validation byindependent measurements at the monitoring sites. Here we will test this QC methodology using a dedicated(travelling) FTIR system (capable to measure CO2, CO, CH4, N2O and 13CO2). This instrumentation shall beinstalled at a field site for a limited time span (ca. 4-6 weeks) and run in parallel to the existing instrumentation. Aseparate air intake line will be used as well as separate drying system and calibration standards.

Task 3.5 Training and Capacity building (linked with NA1, led by Euan Nisbet)RHUL Egham UK, will provide a workshop linked to other TNA activities on methods of isotopic analysisand uses of isotopic data in the understanding of non-CO2 greenhouse gases. Topics will include analyticaltechniques, methodologies and use of data.

Field and lab access, and lab trainingUEA: The CRAM Laboratory is the ‘youngest’ GHG laboratory in Europe incorporates the most recent advancesin the field, and a very high level of automation. Here state-of-the-art training, as well as for carrying out sampleflask analyses requested by users is foreseen.RHUL: Instrumental advances are very rapid and only a few labs currently have experience in operatingthem. Individual basis (one-on-one or in small numbers) training training will be provided in new instrumentaladvances, especially for labs setting up new instruments and needing to learn practical skills of calibration andoperation.

Capacity building Cyprus & St PetersburgAt Cyprus RHUL help to carry out preliminary analysis of samples. Aim is help to become part of the regularflask sampling network . This will help understanding emissions from south-eastern Europe and the MiddleEast. Capacity building in Cyprus will bring new skills to the eastern Mediterranean region. In St. Petersburg –improvements to analytical equipment and facilitation of field campaigns will be supported. This will aid bettergreenhouse gas measurement in this key region of emission.

Work package title NA4: Data assurance halocarbon measurements

Start month 1

End month 48


Objectives

The objectives of this work package are to:1. Establish a calibration matrix that relates the calibration scales of each laboratory to one another. This willenable the creation of an integrated, European halocarbon database,2. Establish a quality assurance system for European halocarbons measurements with a calibration standardcentre and a system of routinely comparing secondary(tertiary) and working(quaternary) standards with theprimary AGAGE calibration scales maintained by Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO).3. To integrate and harmonise trace gas measurements in Europe, with the result of having a sustainable andreliable observation network for highly time-resolved data across Europe.


Task 4.1: Preparation of calibration standards– led by UNIVBRIS (Simon O’Doherty)A set of Essex stainless steel canisters will be prepared as tertiary calibration set for the halocarbons withvariable ambient concentrations. They will mainly cover the characteristic atmospheric concentration range butcould also encompass a broader range to allow quantifying instrument nonlinearities.

Task 4.2: Calibration of tertiary tanks – led UNIVBRIS (Simon O’Doherty), contributors: EMPA, NILU, GUF, ECN,UNITUS, UEAAs some halocarbons are susceptible to drifts in standards, the long-term consistency of these standards willbe used to identify such drifts. The working standards of the experimental groups will be linked via the tertiarystandards to the primary AGAGE scale maintained at Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO). For thispurpose, the tertiary standards will be filled by UNIVBRIS at Mace Head, then analysed at Mace Head beforebeing sent to each experimental group, the tertiary will be returned to Mace Head for final analysis towards theend of its working life. One of the strengths of AGAGE scales is their relation to well-defined absolute gravimetriccalibration procedures that can be repeated periodically to assure the accuracy of the long-term measuredtrends. During the course of the AGAGE project there have been three absolute calibration efforts, SIO-93,SIO-98, and SIO-05, named after the Scripps laboratory and the year in which the scale was completed. The“bootstrap” methods used to prepare primary gravimetric standards at ppt levels and the way in which thesestandards are integrated to define a calibration scale are described in the AGAGE “history paper” [Prinn et al.,2000]. The propagation of these standards to the species measured by the network of Medusa instruments isdescribed by Miller et al. [2008]. At present, ambient level SIO primary calibration scales have been preparedfor 26 key AGAGE species (N2O, CF4, SF6, SO2F2, C2F6, C3F8, CFC-11, CFC-12, CFC-113, CFC-114,CFC-115, CHF3, CH2F2, HFC-134a, HFC-143a, HFC-152a, HCFC-22, HCFC-141b, HCFC-142b, Halon-1211,Halon-1301, CH3Br, CH3Cl, CHCl3, CH3CCl3, and CCl4). The precisions of these calibration scales, basedon the internal consistency among the individual primary standards, range from about 0.6% for the lowerabundance compounds to



A strategy for the distribution of the AGAGE scale to the participating laboratories has to be developedaccounting for known problems with instability of certain halocarbons in high pressure cylinders (e.g., CH3Br).To assure comparable results between the participating groups, a round-robin inter-comparison between thedifferent experimental laboratories will be organised (i.e. containers will be shipped between the partners andthe analytical results will be compared). This experiment will reveal and help to eliminate potential experimentalproblems. A data inter-comparison with the international networks of AGAGE and CMDL will be performed. Thiswill be achieved via an exchange of flasks, e.g. using special electropolished stainless steel Essex canisterswhich are known to have good long term stability for many halocarbons.

Task 4.4: Knowledge transfer – led by UNIVBRIS (Simon O’Doherty), contributors: EMPA, NILU, GUF, ECN,UNITUS, UEADuring the course of the project, the knowledge about maintaining and propagating calibration scales forhalocarbons (and extending calibration scales for newly discovered compounds) will improve, as well as theknowledge on measurements of halocarbons in ambient air at ground based sites, and during aircraft flights.Important findings will be communicated to the participating laboratories, whenever necessary. This may alsoresult in recommendations on calibrations and measurements.

Task 4.5: Knowledge transfer – led by NILU (Kjetil Tørseth), contributors: EMPA, UNIVBRIS, GUF, ECN,UNITUS, UEAA central data base for the project will be established, for the submission of data from the stations, and the flaskfilling laboratory. This data base will be for internal use only. Once a final data set with a consistent calibrationscale is established, it is planned to provide the data to international data bases and European and internationalstakeholders.

Work package title NA5: Quality assurance and quality control of non-CO2 gas flux measurements

Start month 1

End month 48


Objectives

The aim of this WP is to improve the quality and inter-comparability of CH4 and N2O flux measurements andannual budgets from the European flux network. Specifically, the objectives are:- To standardise flux measurement protocols of CH4 and N2O including instrumentation, operation, fluxcalculation techniques, flux corrections, error analysis, and gap filling strategies for deriving annual budgets.- To provide a framework in which European research groups can assess instrumentation and data processingmethodologies against a consensus ‘best practice’ setup and approach developed in this WP.- To disseminate these standardised protocols, to provide training to the European flux measurementcommunity, and to develop processing methodologies for inclusion into the ICOS database system for non-CO2flux measurements.


WP5 (NA5), led by NERC (Eiko Nemitz), will organize expert workshops, inter-comparison experiments anda summer school, which will be open for InGOS partners and external groups, to facilitate the improvement,standardisation and quality control across the European flux measurement community. It will work closelywith WP3 (NA3) because some of the instrumentation used for concentration and flux measurements sharesthe same technology. It will work with WP12 (SA1) in providing automated QA/QC and gap filling routines tothe InGOS data centre and it will utilize use selected sites of the InGOS TNA activity to conduct instrument /method intercomparison campaigns. There will be bi-directional exchange with WP13 (JRA1): new instrumentdevelopments will be tested during these campaigns and the issues raised in this WP will help set directions ofother WPs. Advances in the harmonization and QA/QC of approaches will directly benefit the eddy-covarianceflux measurements conducted in WP18 (JRA6). The work programme of this WP breaks down into four distincttasks:

Task 5.1: QA/QC micrometeorological flux measurements – led by NERC (Eiko Nemitz), contributors: ECN,UHEL, FMI, MPG, WUR, LUND, CEAM, PULS, UNITUSBased around two technical expert workshops (hosted by RISOE and UHEL in years 1 and 3), the WP willexchange knowhow developed in the different countries and develop and publish common standardisedmeasurement protocols for instrument selection, operation, data analysis, error analysis & reporting and gapfilling, which will be kept up-to-date to account for new developments during the lifetime of the project. Using thedata from the intercomparison measurements (Task 5.3 below), participants will have the opportunity to assesstheir software analysis routines against a common standard. Automated analysis and QA/QC tools will bedeveloped for inclusion into the ICOS database for non-CO2 flux measurements in collaboration with the InGOSdata centre (SA1), to extend the approach already taken in the CarboEurope database for CO2. This activity willbuild on our experience with a very successful first expert workshop on eddy-covariance measurements of CH4and N2O conducted in collaboration between NitroEurope IP and ICOS-PP [Kroon et al., 2010].

Task 5.2: QA/QC chamber flux measurements – led by KIT (Ralf Kiese), contributors: RISOE, ECN, NERC,PULS, INRARecognising that eddy-covariance will remain insufficiently sensitive for the robust measurement of fluxes ofN2O/CH4 for many ecosystems for some time to come, many flux sites will continue to rely on more sensitivechamber techniques. Consequently, this task will standardise protocols of the measurement and interpretationof flux chamber measurements. Recommendations will be developed on chamber design, how often to make

flux measurements and how to scale up fluxes to provide robust annual flux numbers for an ecosystem. Anintercomparison/calibration campaign of chamber systems for N2O will be conducted at the UHEL chambercalibration setup at Hyytiälä (lead UHEL; participation NERC, ECN, KIT, ULUND, RISOE, INRA), open toparticipants external to InGOS. The task will collaborate with the activities in JRA1 (WP13) on the developmentof robust and low-cost flux chamber systems, and build on a previous chamber intercomparison experiment atthis facility which targeted CH4 and was conducted by the Young Scientist Forum of the NitroEurope IP.

Task 5.3: Inter-comparison of eddy-covariance flux measurement setups – led by NERC (Eiko Nemitz),contributors: ECN, FMI, PULS, UEDIN, VUA, WUR, RISOE, CEAM, INRATwo inter-comparison activities will be conducted, which will be open to teams within and outside InGOS. ThisWP only provides basic support for the participation of key groups, while it also utilises TNA facilities to furthersupport the site provision and travel costs associated with the participation.• A 3-week comparison campaign will be conducted for eddy-covariance instrumentation for CH4 at the CabauwTNA site which is a grassland site in the Netherlands. This will be led by ECN (Responsible person: ArjanHensen) and participants will include NERC, ECN, FMI, PULS, UEDIN, VUA, WUR, RISOE and CEAM.Instruments include three different models of tunable diode / quantum cascade laser absorption spectroscopy,cavity ringdown spectroscopy, off-axis integrated cavity output spectroscopy, open-path wavelength modulationspectroscopy and technologies emerging during the life-time of the project, including from JRA1 (WP13).• A second 3-week eddy-covariance intercomparison will be performed for N2O at the Easter Bush TNA site,which is agricultural grassland that consistently showed the highest N2O fluxes of the super-site used in twoprevious EU projects (GREENGRASS, NitroEurope IP; Flechard et al., 2007). The field will be fertilised duringthis period to test the instrument performance under a range of conditions as was the case for a previousinstrument intercomparison of NH3 measurement techniques at this site [Von Bobrutzki et al., 2010]. Thecampaign will be led by NERC (Responsible person: Eiko Nemitz) with participations from ECN, UHEL, FMI,RISOE, KIT and INRA. Technologies taken part in the study will include tunable diode and quantum cascadelaser (QCL) absorption spectroscopy (both continuous and pumped) as well as QCL-based off-axis integratedcavity output spectroscopy (LGR), together with other emerging techniques.Both campaigns will be openly advertised and are open for external participants.

Task 5.4: Summer school on non-CO2 gas flux measurements – led by ECN (Arjan Hensen) & KIT (Ralf Kiese),contributors: PULS, UHEL, NERC.A summer school on non-CO2 gas flux measurements will be organised with focus on students and early careerscientists. The summer school will cover both chamber methods and eddy-covariance and will disseminatethe state-of-the-art in the flux measurements of CH4 and N2O fluxes, with a strong field work component. Thecourse will be hosted by PULS and led jointly by ECN and KIT with input from UHEL and NERC. PULS willadministerdedicate for the workshop a travel budget of total €10k for competitive application by institutes fromwithin InGOS (but outside the WP consortium) and outside young career scientists that can apply in a open callfor applications..

Work package title NA6: Harmonization and quality control of non-CO2 GHG (N2O, CH4)measurements in the ocean

Start month 1

End month 48


Objectives

The overall objective of this WP is to improve, harmonize and integrate oceanic measurements of N2O and CH4in different open ocean and coastal regions.

The following specific objectives are defined:- Establish a network of oceanic N2O and CH4 concentration measurements in different oceanic regions (openocean, coastal, coastal upwelling) by using different platforms such as VOS lines, repeated hydrographicsections as well as open ocean and coastal time series stations- Exchange of scientists between laboratories to learn different analytical methods to measure dissolved N2Oand CH4.- Inter comparison exercise of different analytical methods (Gas Chromatograph (GC) versus Off-Axis IntegratedCavity Output Spectrometer (OA-ICOS) in the laboratory and during field campaigns.


Background:The issues impacting the quality of marine emissions estimates for N2O and CH4 that will be improved in InGOSmay be summarised as follows:1) Limited database. Large parts of the open and coastal oceans have little to no spatial data coverage.2) Seasonal and interannual variability. The concentrations of dissolved N2O and CH4 and their seasonalvariability reflect the imprint of seasonally varying biology (i.e. nitrification/denitrification and methanogenesis)on an underlying hydrographic regime (e.g. coastal upwelling, mixing etc.) which also varies seasonally. Bothgases thus show considerable temporal variability in the surface ocean. Additionally, research cruises arepredominantly scheduled during the (calm and comfortable) summer, which lends considerable seasonal bias tothe resulting datasets.3) Strong spatial heterogeneity in coastal areas. Large horizontal and vertical gradients arise through variousmechanisms including tidal exchange with adjacent water bodies, water column stratification or when tidal orwind shear is relatively weak, and interaction of river inputs with tidal currents and wind stress.4) Strong spatial gradients between coastal and open ocean areas. N2O and CH4 are dominantly produced inand released from coastal areas, therefore significant concentration differences between coastal areas such asupwelling areas, estuaries and the adjacent open ocean areas exist.

Description of workWP6 is led by IFM-GEOMAR (Hermann Bange) and includes contributions by UEA (Andy Watson), CSIC(Emma Huertas) and UiB (Truls Johannessen): We will integrate the network of oceanic N2O and CH4measurements using different platforms such as Voluntary Observing Ship (VOS) lines (UEA, IFM-GEOMAR),the A25-OVIDE hydrographic section in the North Atlantic Ocean (CSIC), as well as measurements atwell-established European open ocean (ESTOC off Canary Islands), TENATSO off Cape Verde Islands, GIFT,Strait of Gibraltar) and coastal (Boknis Eck, SW Baltic Sea) time series sites (IFM-GEOMAR, CSIC). An integralpart of the WP forms the inter comparison exercise to promote reproducibility and comparability of present andfuture measurements as well as to test the feasibility of a novel OA-ICOS/equilibrator instrument (IFM-GEOMAR,UEA, CSIC, UiB). The six tasks of WP6 are designed to benefit from collaboratio
