Short summary
We present a novel automated enclosure for protecting solar-tracking atmospheric instruments. It has been deployed in central Munich for greenhouse gas monitoring since July 2016 and withstood all critical weather conditions, including rain, storms, and snow. The enclosure leads to a fully automated measurement system, which collects data whenever possible without any human interaction. It provides the foundation for a long-term greenhouse gas monitoring sensor network.
