Overview  
Title CH4 concentration
Sub-Title
Data Summary Continuous measurement data of the atmospheric CH4 concentration in Syowa Station. Methane is one of the most important greenhouse gases, however, its souse and sink strength and their variation are still unclear. To improve our knowledge to estimate future level of the atmospheric CH4 concentration, precise, systematic and long-term observations have been required.
