  1. Fiducial Reference Measurements for Ground-Based IR Greenhouse Gas Observation (FRM4GHG) J. Notholt, M. De Mazière, R. Kivi, H. Chen, T. Blumenstock, D. Griffith, D. Weidmann and co-workers University of Bremen, Royal Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy, Finnish Meteorological Institute, University of Groningen, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, University of Wollongong, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Institute of Environmental Physics University of Bremen

  2. Current situation and requirements Optimum validation for NADIR satellite observations of GHGs is provided by ground-based solar absorption spectrometry - TCCON is the reference system - Complete TCCON observation system (container, Bruker 125 HR, solar tracker) is expensive 400-500 k€ - Requires high maintenance and operations costs - Difficult to transport, limits possibility for campaigns - Limits the extension of the network Development of cheaper and easier deployable systems for remote sensing GHG observations

  3. Aim of FRM4GHG Perform an intercomparison of measured total column concentrations of a few GHG (CO2, CH4, CO) using several different infrared spectrometric instruments at a TCCON site. We plan to perform measurements with five different spectrometers plus the in-situ Aircore balloon system The measurement campaign is planned to take place in Sodankyla/Finland in 2017. Project starts in Aug. 2016. FMI runs there a TCCON instrument and has experience with AirCore launches (allowed in Sodankyla !) since September 2013.

Instruments for FRM4GHG TCCON Bruker 125HR (FMI)  XCO2, XCH4, XCO; resol. 0.02 cm-1 Bruker EM27/SUN (KIT) XCO2, XCH4; resol. 0.5 cm-1 + dual channel version  XCO Bruker Vertex 70 (BIRA & IUP)  XCO2, XCH4 , XCO; resol. 0.16 cm-1 IR cube (UoW)  XCO2, XCH4, XCO; very low resol. Quantum cascade later heterodyne radiometer (RAL)  CH4, CO, CO2; resol. 0.005 cm-1 In-situ Aircore system (RUG) CO2, CH4, CO vertical profiles Calibrated to WMO standards

  13. A Python module for Opus files and slices Matthias Buschmann, IUP Bremen Problem: - Opus files and slices not server-side accessible - Access to ifg/spc via conversion to ascii only - For limited data transfer from remote sites (e.g. Palau): Check interferograms before transfer Solution: - GGG/i2s has all necessary infos to look at spectra/slices/header - Implemented in Python using standard libraries + NumPy - Access to slices, spectra and interferograms - Full header information access

  14. Example - First line: how to install the module in Python - Second line: open a spectrum - Rest: how to get OPUS Header infos - Replacement of data blocks and header parameters possible
