Geophys. Res. 102 , 5885-5894). Calibration details are discussed by Francey et al. (2003). Monthly values are calculated as the mean of the daily values from a smooth curve fit to the data using curve-fitting routines described by Thoning et al., 1989, (J. Geophys. Res. 94, 8549-8565). Annual values are the arithmetic means of the 12 monthly values.
