N2O measurements in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean
Data on the N2O contents of marine air and sea water from the Northeast Atlantic Ocean are presented. The N2O content of marine air is rather constant. The data are in accordance with earlier measurements. The sea water down to depths greater than 1,000 meters is considerably supersaturated with N2O...

| Summary: | Data on the N2O contents of marine air and sea water from the Northeast Atlantic Ocean are presented. The N2O content of marine air is rather constant. The data are in accordance with earlier measurements. The sea water down to depths greater than 1,000 meters is considerably supersaturated with N2O with respect to air. Supersaturation values obtained from surface water allow the conclusion that part of the North Atlantic acts as a net source of atmospheric N2O. |
