Global Cycle Analysis of N2O Using Isotopomers Sakae TOYODA
... Nitrous oxide (N2O) is one of the greenhouse gases in the troposphere (IPCC, 2007) and is the most important ozone-depleting gas in the stratosphere (Ravishankara et al., 2009). Its global average tropospheric concentration in 2010 is about 322 ppb, which is lower than that of carbon dioxide (CO2) b ...
