A methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) release experiment was held from April – June 2015 at the Ginninderra Controlled Release Facility in Canberra, Australia. The experiment provided an opportunity to compare different emission quantification techniques against a simulated CH4 and CO2 point source release, where the actual release rates were unknown to the participants. This dataset contains quality controlled 5 minute averaged CH4 concentration and meteorlogical data from 21 May to 12 June for 4 Eddy Covariance towers, 1 scanning Boreal laser, 2 scanning FTIR instruments and 2 Picarro towers.
