The files include daily observations of total ozone (DU), AOT at 1020 nm, water column (at 936 nm) and solar irradiance at 305 nm, 312 nm, 320 nm, 936 nm and 1020 nm (W/m2). Observations were made with the spectrophotometer MICROTOPS II by the Climate Research Group, Section of Environmental Physics and Meteorology, Faculty of Physics, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. Validation of the data is needed for their proper use.

Total averaged-dry air mole fractions of greenhouse gases for the region of Thessaloniki, such as carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, carbon monoxide . Measurements were performed using a portable Bruker EM27/SUN spectrometer in the frame of the COllaborative Carbon Column Observing Network (COCCON), which measures direct solar radiation and each spectrum is obtained every 58 seconds, during clear-sky days. Data also include other measured quantities such as: the uncertainty of each measurement (rms), the time of measurement (UTC), the solar zenith ang...
