Methane Observations and Yearly Assessments (MOYA): Isotopic d13C methane measurements taken from Ascension Observatory

This dataset contains air sample measurements of the ratio between carbon 12: carbon 13 in atmospheric methane (d13C). The air samples measured were taken at the Ascension Islands on a regular basis using glass flasks. The samples were analysed for the carbon ratio in methane at Royal Holloway University of London using continuous flow gas chromatography/isotope ratio mass spectrometry (CF-GC/IRMS). MS). This data was collected as part of the Methane Observations and Yearly Assessments (MOYA) project funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) (NE/N016211/1).
