KCMP Minnesota Tall Tower Carbon Dioxide Data 2007-2019

This data set contains carbon dioxide concentration values and supporting metadata information measured at a tall tower (KCMP radio station, 244 meters) site near St. Paul, Minnesota, USA. The data package includes a text file containing hourly continuous carbon dioxide concentration measurements from 2007 to 2019, including raw, de-spiked, and gap filled data. Carbon dioxide concentrations were measured at approximately 100 meters using tunable diode laser spectroscopy. The instrumentation was maintained at the base of the tall tower in a temperature-controlled building. This data was collected to track and improve the understanding of carbon dioxide levels over a twelve year period for the region.
