Monitoring of Atmospheric Gases

Monitoring of Atmospheric Gases is an open dataset from Environment and Climate Change Canada with 10 files (HTML); catalogue record updated 2022-02-23. On CanQuery you can follow the original downloads. Files are available in English and French.

Trace gas data sets measured by Canadian and U.S. ground-based monitoring networks from 1982 to the present including non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHC), ozone (O3) and total gaseous mercury (TGM). Included are Canadian federal and provincial networks (past and present) and U.S. historical networks (for data not available elsewhere). These data sets are associated with various networks that monitor a variety of trace and reactive gases. Non-Methane Hydrocarbons were measured and monitored in a study at Egbert, Ontario at the Centre for Atmospheric Research and Experiments, CARE. Ozone which comprises Ground Level Ozone or GLO3 which is predominantly measured by the Canadian Air and Precipitation Monitoring Network (CAPMoN) or as part of a targeted special study at a specific site and Stratospheric ozone and ultraviolet radiation which is measured by the Canadian Brewer Spectrophotometer Network (CBSN) and vertical profiles of stratospheric ozone are measured and monitored by the Canadian Ozonesonde Network. Total Gaseous Mercury (TGM) is measured by several networks and studies such as: the Canadian Mercury Monitoring Network, CAMNET (which is no longer in operation), Canadian Air…
