A short while ago, a new instrument was installed at the Sphinx-observatory at Jungfraujoch. The ICOS flask sampler automatically collects air samples in glass flasks that are sent to the ICOS-CAL (Central Analytical Laboratories) at the Max-Planck-Institute in Jena, Germany. There, the air samples are analysed for CO2, CH4, N2O and CO as a quality control of the in-situ measurements but also for other tracers such as e.g. H2 and SF6 that are not measured in-situ. The picture shows Dr. Michael Schibig from the Climate and Environmental Physics division of the University of Bern with the flask sampler in the background. Picture: Ruedi Käser, HFSJG
