Measurement of Methane Flux III a Tundra Region near Tiksi, Eastern Siberia in 1992*

Abstract: Methane is a significant greenhouse gas and the change of its concentration in atmosphere has an important effect on global climate. In order to ascertain the methane emission from tundra wetlands on permafrost area, the methane fluxes in the vicinity of Tiksi, eastern Siberia were measure...

Description
Summary:Abstract: Methane is a significant greenhouse gas and the change of its concentration in atmosphere has an important effect on global climate. In order to ascertain the methane emission from tundra wetlands on permafrost area, the methane fluxes in the vicinity of Tiksi, eastern Siberia were measured in July, 1992. This study confirmed that methane gas is released from tundra wetlands in eastern Siberia. The values of fluxes were from 0 to 30.7 [mg CH. m- 2 day-I] ~:;I J //j:lilJjtt>d.-Ul£j(1]*~f*"C',h t),.fO)i.OCO)~1r./j:~il*t~MLlli~-9-.z.Qo 71< ~i*±:!IB*t~JAf.I{.Q "J / r ' '7i,\l:!t!!./j:;I J /O)~lf::iJjj(O)-"J t ~.z G n.Q 0.f.:: "C', i'iIi~OCO)
