Short summary
In 2003, the Regional Brewer Calibration Center for Europe (RBCC-E) was established at the Izaña Atmospheric Research Center and since 2011 the RBCC-E transfers its calibration based on Langley using travelling standard(s) that are absolutely and independently calibrated at Izaña. This work is focused on reporting on the consistency of the measurements of the RBCC-E triad (Brewers #157, #183 and #185) made during the period 2005–2016.
