AB: Four new tower sites will have been added to the NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory's tall tower network by the end of 2007, bringing the total number of sites to seven. In addition to continuous monitoring of CO₂, CO, and meteorological parameters, daily flask sampling using automated samplers has been implemented at several sites. The flask samples are analyzed for a large suite of species including CH₄, N₂O, SF₆, δ¹³CO₂, COS, a suite of halocarbons, and some hydrocarbons. O₃ was measured at 10m and 400m above ground level at the Texas tower site during the summer of 2006 and has proven to be a useful indicator for urban and power plant pollution events. Radon-222 is measured at two of the sites and provides an indicator of surface influence. Several of the towers are directly beneath or near NOAA aircraft profiling sites. We will present an overview of results from the growing network, including an analysis of seasonal cycles and variability on synoptic time scales of CO₂ and other gases, vertical gradients in CO₂, and comparisons with results from the NOAA CarbonTracker CO₂ data assimilation system.
