Nitrous oxide in the ocean and the marine atmosphere
Abstract
Nitrous oxide has been found in surface and deep ocean waters of the S. Pacific. The observed concentrations are lower than expected for solubility equilibrium with concentrations previously reported in the continental atmosphere. Lower atmospheric concentrations than previous continental data have been found in N. Pacific air. These variations indicate that N 2O should be an important tracer gas for atmospheric studies.
