N2O measurement in the polar atmosphere: Preliminary results and plans

Preliminary results of the measurement of atmospheric N_2O density distribution suggest that the local effect of the N_2O source is not negligible. The effect of relative humidity on the mixing ratio of N_2O is found in present analysis, and this means that it is necessary to simultaneously measure...

Description
Summary:Preliminary results of the measurement of atmospheric N_2O density distribution suggest that the local effect of the N_2O source is not negligible. The effect of relative humidity on the mixing ratio of N_2O is found in present analysis, and this means that it is necessary to simultaneously measure the N_2O mixing ratio and H_2O density. Monitoring of the N_2O ratio at Syowa Station will help us to understand the global N_2O distribution and the local effect of the N_2O emission strength on its global budget.
