Pre-release data from the atmospheric network of ICOS Research Infrastructure for the stations Gartow, OPE, SMEAR and Hohenpeißenberg. This collection contains the final quality controlled hourly averaged data for the mole fractions of CO2, CO and CH4 and meteorological observations measured at the relevant vertical levels of the measurements stations, and where available 14C in CO2 in two-weekly integrated samples. for the years 2016-2017. All stations follow the ICOS Atmospheric Station specification V1.3 (https://www.icos-ri.eu/fetch/ba12290c-3714-4dd5-a9f0-c431b9900ad1;1.0) and are certified as ICOS atmospheric stations Class I or II.
