Deriving Emissions related to Climate Change Network: CO2, CH4, N2O, and SF6 measurements from Ridge Hill Tall Tower, Herefordshire
High frequency measurements of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) have been taken at Ridge Hill tall tower as part of the UK DECC (Deriving Emissions linked to Climate Change) Network.
Ridge Hill (RGL) is a rural UK site located 13 km south-east of Hereford (population ~55,000), and 30 km south-west of Worcester (population ~94,000), in Herefordshire, UK. Measurements of SF6 and N2O have been taken using gas chromatography with an electron capture detector (GC-ECD), sampling from a height of 90 m above ground level. Measurements are also taken from inlet heights of 45 m and 90 m above ground level using laser-based techniques for CO2 and CH4. Due to the location of the site, far from strong sources of local pollution, measurements from this site are used to calculate emission maps of trace gas species in the UK in combination with other measurement stations in the UK (Bilsdale, Tacolneston and Heathfield) and Ireland (Mace Head).
This work was funded by Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) contracts TRN1028/06/2015 and TRN1537/06/2018 to the University of Bristol.
