Adapted by Ministry for the Environment and Statistics New Zealand to provide for environmental reporting transparency
Dataset used to develop the "Greenhouse gas concentrations" indicator [available at https://www.stats.govtnz/indicators/greenhouse-gas-concentrations]
This indicator measures atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide from 1972, methane from 1989, and nitrous oxide from 1996, to 2019 from ‘clean air’ observations at Baring Head near Wellington. We report monthly averages for each greenhouse gas. Data for carbon monoxide (CO) are also provided in the dataset.
More information on this dataset and how it relates to our environmental reporting indicators and topics can be found in the attached data quality pdf.
