Short summary
We introduced our identical systems, which were installed at three S. Korea stations, using CRDS and a drying system. The measurement uncertainty was ~ 0.11 ppm across the stations. CO2 observed in the west of S. Korea was very sensitive to East Asia (e.g., China), indicating that data include CO2 flux information from East Asia. Through long-term comparison to other East Asian stations, it was suggested that they could be affected not only by local vegetation but also by measurement quality.
