1334 2014-06-06 Lab none Calibration Lab none Last calibration: 2011-10-06
Cell Pressure=138.28Torr, Cell Temperature=18.94C, Ring Time=13.434usec
God CH4 at 1800psi
CH4 Span=1.900ppm
CH4 = 1.900 -> 1.900 Offset: 0ppb
Notes: New NOAA God bottle. I did not see any offset or change in readings after cal. CO2 content of this tank was 394.92ppm (average of 186 readings).

God CO2 at 1750psi
CH4 Span=ppm, CO2 Span=402.69ppm
CH4 = -> Offset: 0ppb
CO2 = 402.5 -> 402.69 Offset: 0.19ppm
Notes: Co2 only. Really very close. I did not see any change in values after calibration

Cell Pressure=138.44Torr, Cell Temperature=21.50C, Ring Time=13.448usec
CH4 in air at 500psi
CH4 Span=3.228ppm, CO2 Span=410ppm
CH4 = 3.228 -> 3.228 Offset: 0ppb
CO2 = 413 -> 410 Offset: -3ppm
Notes: CH4 was right on and not calibrated. Only calibrated for CO2.
419 2011-10-06 Lab none Calibration Lab none This analyzer was calibrated withe the CH4 god bottle then used to measure the CH4 in a 400ppm CO2 secondary tank. In the process the LGR CO2 was calibrated with the scondary CO2 tank.

Last calibration of CH4 and CO2 was on 2011-08-29. The last calibration of H2O was on 2009-03-13.

God bottel: 1.8978ppm CH4 350psi
Secondary CO2: 405.85ppm CO2 -> CH4 determined to be 4.666ppm

CH4 Pre-cal:
8:23PST, 21.67C, 138.20Torr, 13.403usec, 1Hz, 1.9140ppm CH4
After CH4 was 1.8980ppm.

CO2 pre-cal:
8:29PST, 21.65C, 138.18Torr, 13.395usec, 1Hz, 4.666ppm CH4, 413.8ppm CO2
After CO2 was 405.5ppm
400 2011-09-02 Borrowed Borrowed Lab none We re-borrowed this analyzer from Frank of continued soil respiration in the lab.
399 2011-08-22 Lab none Returned Returned Returned to Frank for chamber campaign on Twitwell ponds during the week of August 22nd, 2011
356 2011-05-13 Lab none Maintenance Lab none On first power up CH4 and H2O did not line lock. I adjusted the VO setting in the linelock_0.ini file from -0.690 to -0.590.

I did a calibration with the CH4 god bottle 1.8978ppm CH4, 350psi. Last cal was:

CH4 - 14 Jul 2010
H2O, CO2 - 13 Mar 2009

Precal: 14:26PST, 22.77C, 138.11Torr, 14.052usec, 1Hz, 2.058ppm
After cal: 1.9021ppm
