Nitrous oxide isotopic composition

The interstitial air trapped during this process preserves a largely unaltered record of the composition of past atmospheres on time scales as short as decades and as long as several hundred thousand years. Such records have provided critical information about past variations in carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), carbon monoxide (CO), and the isotopic composition of some of these trace species. In addition, studies of the major elements of air nitrogen, oxygen, and argon, and their isotopic composition, have contributed... [Pg.469]

Sigman et al. [134] have described a bacterial method for measuring the isotopic composition of seawater nitrate at the natural-abundance level. The method is based on the analysis of nitrous oxide gas (N2O) produced quantitatively from nitrate by denitrifying bacteria. The classical denitrification pathway consists of the stepwise reduction of nitrate (NOp to nitrite (N02), nitric oxide (NO), nitrous oxide (N2O), and dinitrogen (N2) ... [Pg.89]

Figure 16.10 (A) Nitrous oxide (N2O) concentrations and isotopic composition for water samples collected at Station ALOHA. [Left] Depth profile of N2O showing a distinct mid-depth maximum of 60 nM coincident with the dissolved oxygen minimum. [Center] N isotope composition of N2O. [Right] 0 isotope composition of N2O. Data from Dore et al. (1998) and B. Popp and J. Dore (unpublished). (B) N2O saturation state, expressed as a percentage of air saturation, for the upper portion of the water column at Station ALOHA during the period September 1992— September 1994. The vertical dashed line indicates equilibrium (100% saturation) with atmospheric N2O. With the exception of one measured value on cruise HOT-45, all determinations indicate significant N2O saturation relative to the atmosphere which implies both a local source and a net ocean-to-air gas flux.From Dore and Karl (1996a).
