The Shangdianzi GAW Regional Station (Global Atmosphere Watch programme of the World Meteorological Organization) 100km northeast of urban Beijing is part of the domain of the China Meteorological Administration (CMA).  It is jointly operated by the Beijing Meteorological Bureau (BMB) and the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences (CAMS).  The first in-situ measurement of ODSs and solvents in China has been performed by GC-ECDs at the Shangdianzi since 2006.  As one of the partners of SOGE-A, Shangdianzi measurement is attached to the SOGE and linked to the AGAGE network. Furthermore, in-situ atmospheric CO2/CH4 measurements by Picarro CRDS and in-situ CH4/CO/N2O/SF6 by GC-FID+ECD was implemented in early 2009 and early 2010, respectively. A new state of the art Medusa GC-MS system was installed and started operation in May 2010 to measure CFCs, HCFCs, HFCs, PFCs, halons, and halocarbons.
