Methodology for measuring greenhouse gas concentrations at a test site near the Blue Bay (northeast of the Black Sea)

The article presents the results of monitoring the concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), volatile organic substances (VOCs) and a mixture of ozone and nitrogen dioxide carried out at a test site located in the Blue Bay area (Gelendzhik). The technical capabilities of the scientific equipment used and the features of the methodology for working with it are described. An analysis of the data acquisition process was performed, and some optimizations of measurement technology and statistical processing were shown in order to increase the reliability of the results. A brief summary of the measurements performed is given. During the research, the concentration of greenhouse gases and harmful substances was within the global average.
