I am slowly adding links to the data repositories for these datasets and the relevant wikipedia articles. Dlary 14:49, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Observational Database

A large observational database of many different atmospheric constituents from a host of platforms is available. This was created as part of ESA Envisat and NASA Aura validation. It is of general use. Do you think it should be added to the article text? Dlary 03:15, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea! Mkfwd 02:32, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the Cambridge Atmospheric Chemical Database is better as an external link. Freewikidata 02:53, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Other Instruments

Sections are needed on other instruments such as GOME on ERS-2 and the suite of Envisat instruments. Freewikidata 03:22, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It would also be good to have info/links to meteorological data on temperature and winds and also rawinsondes. Mkfwd 03:26, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, a comprehensive set of links would be useful. Actw 06:47, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The key point is that the instruments mentioned should give free access to their data. Dlary 03:07, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Atmospheric chemistry observational databases. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20070225064435/http://www.autochem.info:80/constituentobservationaldatabase.html to http://www.autochem.info/constituentobservationaldatabase.html

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).

Scope, additional entries

This has already been mentioned, but there are an overwhelming number of atmospheric chemistry observations that this article misses. Off the top of my head: (ground based) TCCON, the NOAA/ESRL surface network, (satellite based) SCIAMACHY, AIRS, MOPITT, IASI, GOSAT, OCO-2. There is also NOAA's ObsPack which is an integrated collection of measurements of carbon species. I believe GAW produces a similar product.

The aircraft section does a good job of linking to NASA's EVS because there are a ton of campaigns.

I could go about adding a lot of these, but I think the article would get really messy. So my question is what should the scope of this article be? Should it focus on all measurements? Just database collections? Should there be some sort of table for different measurements instead of paragraph-long text-based descriptions?
