Mace Head on the west coast of Ireland is one of the world’s few stations with unobstructed access to clean, well-mixed Atlantic air. The site provides long-term greenhouse gas, aerosol and remote-sensing data as part of several international programmes. As an ICOS station, Mace Head contributes high-quality observations that support harmonised national measurements and help verify Ireland’s greenhouse gas emissions. ExploreICOS is a video series presenting the people, the stations and the activities of ICOS, the Integrated Carbon Observation System. ICOS produces standardised data on greenhouse gases, which is essential in understanding and mitigating climate change. Our data is being used by scientists, governments, and international organisations in their efforts to solve challenges caused by global warming. In the ExploreICOS series, we take you on a journey to our stations and introduce you to our scientists, technicians and other important people behind the data. Video footage by Pekka Pelkonen.
