Atmospheric CO2and CH4have been continuously measured since 2009 at Longfengshan WMO/GAW station (LFS) in China. Variations of the mole fractions, influence of long-distance transport, effects of local sources/sinks and the characteristics of synoptic scale variations have been studied based on the records from 2009 to 2013. Both the CO2and CH4mole fractions display increasing trends in the last five years, with growth rates of 3.1±0.02 ppm yr‒1for CO2and 8±0.04 ppb yr‒1(standard error, 1-σ) for CH4. In summer, the regional CO2mole fractions are apparently lower than the Marine Boundary Layer reference, with the lowest value of‒13.6±0.7 ppm in July, while the CH4values are higher than the MBL reference, with the maximum of 139±6 ppb. From 9 to 17 (Local time, LT) in summer, the atmospheric CO2mole fractions at 10 m a.g.l. are always lower than at 80 m, with a mean difference of‒1.1±0.2 ppm, indicating that the flask sampling approach deployed may underestimate the background mole fractions in summer. In winter, anthropogenic emissions dominate the regional CO2and CH4mole fractions. Cluster analysis of backward trajectories shows that atmospheric CO2and CH4at LFS are influenced by anthropogenic emissions from the southwest (Changchun and Jilin city) all year. The synoptic scale variations indicate that the northeastern China plain acts as an important source of atmospheric CO2and CH4in winter.
