Latest update: (July 2008)

There are three subdirectories, "gc-md" ,"gc-ms" and 'gc-ms-medusa", 
in current directory. 

(1) chemical species measured by AGAGE GC-ECD/FID/MRD system are
    saved in "gc-md" (i.e CFC-11, CFC-12, CH3CCl3, CCl4, N2O,
    CFC-113, CH4, CHCl3, CO, and H2).

(2) chemical compounds measured by AGAGE GC-MS (ADS) system (i.e
    HFC-134a, HCFC-22, HCFC-141b, HCFC-142b, CH3Cl, CH3Br,
    Halon-1211, Halon-1301, HFC-152a, CH2Cl2, CHClCCl3, and 
    CCl2CCl2) are saved in "gc-ms" area.

(3) The original AGAGE GC-MS (ADS) instruments at Mace Head and
    Cape Grim were retired in December 2004. They were replaced
    by new generation of Medusa GCMS system, which has been 
    installed at Mace Head (November 2003), Cape Grim (January 2004)
    Trinidad Head (April 2005) Barbados (May 2005), and Samoa (May 2006).
    Data from Medus GC-MS instruments are saved in "gc-ms-medusa" area.
    Currently there are 17 compounds measured by Medusa GC-MS instruments
    available on CDIAC. In addition to the same 12 species as those from 
    original GCMS-ADS instrument, CFC-113, CH3CCl3, CHCl3, SF6, and 
    HFC-365mfc are also available from GCMS-Medusa systems. You can find
    the above data in "gcms_medusa" directory.

(4) In general data through Sep. 2007 are included in this update

(5) If you use AGAGE data in your research and publication
    please quote related publications as shown following,
