A new apparatus for in situ continuous measurements of atmospheric CO_2 concentration at Syowa Station, Antarctica was developed using a non-dispersive infrared CO_2 analyzer with a precision better than ±0.01ppm. Standard gases employed were CO_2 in air mixtures and their concentrations were determined against special gases with absolute accuracies around ±0.1ppm, which were prepared gravimetrically using an extremely precise balance.
