National Facilities
ACTRIS is the pan-European research infrastructure producing high-quality data and information on short-lived atmospheric constituents and on the processes leading to the variability of these constituents in natural and controlled atmospheres.
ACTRIS promotes the provision of access to a large variety of high-quality services to a wide range of users and needs, for scientific, technological and innovation-oriented usage.
ACTRIS core components are the National facilities, constituting in observatory and exploratory platoforms, and the Central Facilities, fundamental for the provision of harmonized high-quality data.

CIAO, the CNR-IMAA Atmospheric Observatory (40.60 N, 15.72 E, 760 m a.s.l.) is a research facilities managed by the National Research Council of Italy (CNR) at Institute of Methodologies for Environmental Analysis (IMAA).
Measurement of air samples for isotopic composition of H2 (δD) at Utrecht University.
Measurement of air samples for isotopic composition of CΟ (δ13C, δ18O) at Utrecht University.
Measurement of gas samples for clumped isotopic composition of CH4 (Δ13CDH3 and ΔCD2H2) at Utrecht University.
These measurements can be used for determining methane formation temperatures and non-thermodynamic equilibrium processes.
Samples should be provided in suitable flasks. The concentration needed is typically > 5%, and it may be possible to analyze samples with CH4 as low as 0.5 %, upon discussion. One analysis needs at least 5 ml STP of pure methane. The samples should always be discussed in advance.
