Methane Observations and Yearly Assessments (MOYA): Atmospheric carbon dioxide and methane measurements taken from Bachok Marine Research Station, Malaysia

This dataset contains atmospheric carbon dioxide and methane measurements taken from Bachok Marine Research Station, Malaysia using Los Gatos Research (LGR) Fast Greenhouse Gas Analyser (FGGA) from 2015 to present. LGR FGGA measures trace concentrations of methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O) simultaneously in flowing gaseous samples (usually air) at rates up to ≥10 Hz.

Backok Research Station is located on the east coast of Malaysia, within 100 m of the waters' edge of the South China Sea. This facility is part of the Institute of Ocean and Earth Sciences (IOES) at the University of Malaya (UM). An atmospheric observation tower has been built on the windward side of the main building, for the specific purpose of studying long range transported pollution, air sea exchange, and coastal meteorology.

The UK participation of the Methane Observations and Yearly Assessments (MOYA) project was funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC, grant: NE/N015584/1).
