Interactive comment on “Measurements of greenhouse gases at Beromünster tall tower station in Switzerland” by T. A. Berhanu et al

چکیده

The last decade has seen an unprecedented rise in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere mostly due to anthropogenic activities. In order to cutback on the greenhouse gas emissions we need to calculate accurately the greenhouse gas budget. The paper being reviewed here delineates a fine approach in that direction. The paper describes measurements from an old radio tower in Switzerland. Tall tower measurements as has been correctly pointed out in the paper are not effected by local fluxes, suitable for investigating the well-mixed boundary layer, constraining regional scale greenhouse gas fluxes. The paper describes further details about the tower project about the five sampling heights at which the tower measures the greenhouse gases and other meteorological variables. The intricate details about the experimental set up in the tower

Interactive comment on “Rugged optical mirrors for Fourier-Transform Spectrometers operated in harsh environments” by D. G. Feist et al

With the requirement to better quantify greenhouse gases, establishing TCCON stations in remote environments will be necessary. This paper discusses the problems encountered while operating a TCCON station on Ascension Island, probably the most remote and rough environments in the world for a TCCON instrument at the moment. One of the main components of a TCCON instrument is the solar tracker, ...

Automated ground-based remote sensing measurements of greenhouse gases at the Białystok site in comparison with collocated in situ measurements and model data

The in situ boundary layer measurement site in Białystok (Poland) has been upgraded with a fully automated observatory for total greenhouse gas column measurements. The automated Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS) complements the on-site in situ facilities and FTS solar absorption measurements have been recorded nearly continuously in clear and partially cloudy conditions since March 2009. He...

Carbon dioxide column abundances at the Wisconsin Tall Tower site

[1] We have developed an automated observatory for measuring atmospheric column abundances of CO2 and O2 using near-infrared spectra of the Sun obtained with a high spectral resolution Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS). This is the first dedicated laboratory in a new network of ground-based observatories named the Total Carbon Column Observing Network. This network will be used for carbon cy...

Evaluation of the performance of the CMIP5 General Circulation Models in predicting the Indian Ocean Monsoon precipitation over south Sistan and Baluchestan, using the past hydrological changes in the region

1-Introduction Climate change refers to any significant change in the existing mean climatic conditions within a certain time period (Jana and Majumder, 2010; Giorgi, 2006). Earth's climate change through history has happened (Nakicenovic et al., 2000; Bytnerowicz et al., 2007). 2-Materials and methods In this study, daily precipitation and daily maximum (Tmax) and daily minimum (Tmin) tempera...

Some Notes on Critical Appraisal of Prevalence Studies; Comment on: “The Development of a Critical Appraisal Tool for Use in Systematic Reviews Addressing Questions of Prevalence”

Decisions in healthcare should be based on information obtained according to the principles of Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM). An increasing number of systematic reviews are published which summarize the results of prevalence studies. Interpretation of the results of these reviews should be accompanied by an appraisal of the methodological quality of the included data and studies. The critical a...
