Lindenberg LIN

52°10' N / 14°07' E    

Altitude: 73 m a.s.l.

Tower height: 99 m


Measurements of CO2 and CH4 are taken on the Lindenberg measurement tower at four heights (2.5 m, 10 m, 40 m and 99 m) with a measurement duration of 5 minutes per height; the four heights being sampled sequentially. The concentrations of CO2 and CH4 are measured with a Picarro G2301 analyser using cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS). Continuous analysis of N2O and CO is achieved using a Los Gatos analyser (LGR-30-EP).

In order to obtain information about the vertical mixing of the atmosphere air samples are collected at a height of 99 m and analysed for radon with a time resolution of 30 minutes.

In addition, the measuring mast of Lindenberg Meteorological Observatory is equipped with several instruments for meteorological parameters. The data from these instruments (list below) are also available to us to help us with our evaluations.

  • Temperature/Humidity: Vaisala HMP 45D sensors (1x at each height) (combined PT100 and HUMICAP) in ventilated type 43408 R.M.Young Company radiation protection shelters
  • Wind speed: Thies type 4.3303.022.000 star cup anemometer (3x at each height, boom to the east, south and north)
  • Wind direction: Type 4.3121.32.000 and 4.3124.30.002 Thies wind vanes (3x at 98 m and 40 m, boom to the east, south and north) and SE Model 09101 R.M.Young Company wind monitor
  • Global radiation: CMP22 from Kipp & Zonen
  • Air pressure: PTB220 from Vaisala

These data are supplied on a continuous basis at a time resolution of 10 minutes.
