AB: We describe the design, implementation, and evaluation of a network for remotely sensing the column-averaged volume mixing ratio of CO2, CH4, CO, and N2O. These measurements will be used both for constraining greenhouse gas fluxes and for validation of corresponding greenhouse gas abundances retrieved from satellite radiances. The measurement methodology is described including an assessment of the precision and accuracy of the network and plans for maintaining high degree of relative accuracy among the stations. Initial results from the four currently operating network stations - Ny Alesund (Spitzbergen), Park Falls (Wisconsin, USA), Darwin (Australia) and Lauder (New Zealand) - are discussed.
