The Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences currently operates three Brewer MarkII spectrophotometers in China. Funding is provided in part by the Chinese Meteorological Administration (CMA), and the WMO's Global Atmospheric Watch (GAW) program. Data series are up to date beginning in 1991 for one location, and 2003 for two locations. All three instruments have been calibrated and have participated in recent intercomparison exercises. To obtain data, please contact Zheng Xiangdong.
