Overview of Greenhouse Gases | US EPA - U.S. Environmental …
Apr 11, 2024 · Nitrous oxide (N2O): Nitrous oxide is emitted during agricultural, land use, and industrial activities; combustion of fossil fuels and solid waste; as well as during treatment of wastewater.
Trends in CH4 - NOAA Global Monitoring Laboratory
Oct 5, 2024 · Trends in Atmospheric Methane (CH 4) Global CH 4 Monthly Means. Last updated: Oct 05, 2024. PDF Version. The graphs show globally-averaged, monthly mean atmospheric methane abundance determined from marine surface sites.
Carbon Cycle Greenhouse Gases - NOAA Global Monitoring …
Measurements of CH 4, N 2 O, and SF 6 from a globally-distributed network of air sampling sites are first smoothed in time. Values are extracted from the smooth curves at equally-spaced intervals (48 time steps per year), then curves are fitted to these values as a function of latitude.
Six years of ecosystem-atmosphere greenhouse gas fluxes
Jul 5, 2019 · Carbon dioxide (CO 2), methane (CH 4), and nitrous oxide (N 2 O) are the greenhouse gases largely responsible for anthropogenic climate change. Natural plant and microbial metabolic processes...
Understanding Global Warming Potentials | US EPA
Aug 8, 2024 · The CH 4 GWP also accounts for some indirect effects, such as the fact that CH 4 is a precursor to ozone, and ozone is itself a GHG. Nitrous Oxide (N 2 O) has a GWP 273 times that of CO 2 for a 100-year timescale. N 2 O emitted today remains in the atmosphere for more than 100 years, on average.
Trends in N2O - NOAA Global Monitoring Laboratory
Oct 5, 2024 · The Global Monitoring Laboratory conducts research on greenhouse gas and carbon cycle feedbacks, changes in clouds, aerosols, and surface radiation, and recovery of stratospheric ozone.
