The data file includes the following variables: Column 1: Decimal day of year (local standard time, hourly values) Column 2: CO2 concentration measured at approximately 100 m using tunable diode laser spectroscopy (micromol/mol) Column 3: De-spiked CO2 concentration. The raw CO2 concentrations were first filtered for extreme values ([CO2] < 340 micromol/mol or [CO2] > 450 micromol/mol) and then fitted to a model consisting of a quadratic polynomial for the long-term trend of CO2 growth and four-harmonics for the CO2 seasonal cycle [Thoning et al., 1989]. Any data lying outside 5 standard deviations of the residuals between the original data and the model fit were discarded. This procedure was repeated until no outliers were identified. Column 4: Gap-filled CO2 concentration. A modified Mean Diurnal Variation method [Falge et al., 2001] was used to gap-filled the de-spiked CO2 concentration time series. Gaps were filled by taking the average value at the same time of day (±1 h) within a moving time window of adjacent days. Following an iterative procedure, the moving window includes more days in the vicinity of the gap and the same days of the adjacent year (±1 yr) until there are enough good data points (> 60% of the moving window) for gap filling. The accuracy of the gap-filling method was estimated to be ±1.2 micromol/mol using a Monte Carlo approach. Reference: Thoning, K. W., Tans, P. P., Komhyr, W. D.
