Dear all,
We have received a request from a partner in our field of operations. The equipment in question is a Picarro G2401-m that analyzes CO2, CO, CH4, and H2O; temperature, pressure, and humidity are also recorded.
Station name: Manaus, Brazil
Date established: 2014-12-09
Station type: Air (fixed)
Country: Brazil
Latitude: -2.495
Longitude: -59.799
Elevation (ground elevation): 100 masl
WMO region: South America
Time zone: Amazon Time (GMT-4)
Supervising organization: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Global Monitoring Laboratory
Program affiliation: NOAA-GML
Measurement program:
- Gas phase > Greenhouse gas > CO2 - Vertical profile
- Gas phase > Greenhouse gas > CH4 - Vertical profile
- Gas phase > Reactive gas > CO - Vertical profile
According to the information provided, the station category is "Air (fixed)"—defined as an airborne observing facility at a fixed position. Therefore, a question arises: since this type of equipment is installed on an aircraft, can it be classified as "Air (fixed)"?
Thank you in advance.
