NOAA/GMD is the WMO/GAW Central Calibration Laboratory (CCL) for N2O, CO2, CH4, and CO. In support of GAW, GMD offers calibration services for these gases for a modest fee. The HATS Group of GMD will also calibrate compressed gas standards to NOAA/GMD scales for CFCs, HCFCs, etc. Calibrations are performed through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). To initiate an MOU, please contact Brad Hall or Duane Kitzis.

We also prepare tertiary standards at near-ambient mixing ratios for other organizations performing research related to our lab's mission. . The cost of a standard varies with the cylinder type and level of complexity. For cylinders filled with natural air (Niwot Ridge, Colorado) fees are listed below. Note that the HATS Group operates a different Rix compressor than the CCGG Group . This compressor has been modified to reduce contaminants that can interfere with gas chromatography with electron capture detection.

We can prepare standards in different cylinders as follows, with calibration options listed above.

$1400

29-L Aculife-treated Aluminum

$1600

34-L Stainless Steel
