Calibration Information
 The open-path analyzer was calibrated approx. every two months
 with reference CO2 gas and H2O measurements were calibrated
 using a dew point generator.

 The N2O/CO sensor was calibrated every 6 months with N2O
 reference gas and H2O measurements were calibrated using a dew
 point generator.

Infrastructure
 Tower, Electrical power
