Current activities

Using high quality observations made on the west coast of Ireland (Mace Head) to:

• Estimate the long-term trends, growth rates and seasonal cycles of a range of  greenhouse and ozone-depleting gases.
• Estimate the annual UK and north west European emissions of each trace gas measured for comparison with the internationally reported national inventories.
