Description
Atmospheric halocarbon (CFCs, halons, HCFCs, HFCs, PFCs, SF6, NF3, HFOs) and carbon monoxide (CO) observations (mole fractions) from the tall tower site at Beromünster, Switzerland (47.2 °N, 8.2 °E, 797 m a.s.l., 212 m a.g.l.), covering the period September 2019 to September 2020. The halocarbon measurements were conducted using a Medusa pre-concentration unit, coupled to gas chromatography (Agilent 6890N) and mass spectrometry (Agilent 5975, GC-MS).
