| Description | ICOS is a pan-European research infrastructure for quantifying and understanding the greenhouse gas balance of Europe and its neighbouring regions. ICOS received the official ERIC status on 20 November 2015. ICOS provides standardised and open data from close to 180 measurement stations across 16 European countries. The stations observe greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere and carbon fluxes between the atmosphere, the land surface and the oceans. ICOS provides long-term and high-quality observations and plans to expand to many more countries and stations shortly. ICOS provides observational data on atmospheric composition, ecosystem greenhouse gas exchange fluxes and oceanic GHG data (e.g. fCO2). |
