Outline Vertical profile samples N 2 O Flux Calculation Enhancement of N 2 O since 2004 N 2 O Flux seasonality CO x N 2 O
3
N 2 O is the 3 rd most important anthropogenic greenhouse gas Life time: 120 years Global Warming Potential: 300 (100- years time-horizon) In 1750 270ppb
5
Sample Sites: SAN, MAN 4 - 5 km SAN: Dec 2000 - Dec 2008 MAN: Dec 2004 - Dec 2007 NOAA: 2000-2003 IPEN: 2004-2008 Gases: CO 2, CH 4, CO, H 2, N 2 O, SF 6 Regional scale

Normalized Profiles
16
F SAN = 1.5 mgN 2 O/m²/yr F MAN = 2.1 mgN 2 O/m²/yr

Summary Simple transport model, but calibrated with SF 6 measurements. Enhancement of N 2 O mixing ratio since 2004 N 2 O Flux seasonality from coast to SAN and less seasonality from coast to MAN From coast to SAN – wet, dry high fluxes CO x N 2 O: no clear pattern
