Two Figaro TGS 2600 sensors were installed at the Toolik Wet Sedge site in late June 2012 to 2018. The TGS 2600 was the first low-cost solid state sensor that shows a weak response to ambient levels of methane (i.e., range ~1.8–2.7 µmol mol–1). Reference CH4 mole fractions were measured by a Fast Methane Analyser during the years 2012–2016 which was replace by a Fast Greenhouse Gas Analyzer (Los Gatos Research, Inc., San Jose, CA, U.S.A.) in 2016. Data were used in the Eugster et al. (2020) study on Long-term reliability of the Figaro TGS 2600 solid-state methane sensor under low Arctic conditions at Toolik lake, Alaska (doi:10.5194/amt-2019-402)
