The Mace Head station is located on the west coast of Ireland. Its exposure to North Atlantic Ocean make it an ideal location to study both natural and man-made trace constituents in marine and continental air masses. The AGAGE started measuring atmospheric CFC-11, CFC-12, CFC-113, methyl chloroform, CCl4, N2O and CH4 in 1978 by using high-precision GC-multidetector system.
