Contributions of denitrification and mixing on the distribution of nitrous oxide in the North Pacific

H Yamagishi, N Yoshida, S Toyoda… - Geophysical …, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
We analyzed N2O isotopomer ratios (distribution of isotopes within N2O molecules) in the

Quantifying nitrous oxide cycling regimes in the Eastern Tropical North Pacific Ocean with isotopomer analysis

CL Kelly, NM Travis, PA Baya… - Global Biogeochemical …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract Nitrous oxide (N2O), a potent greenhouse gas, is produced disproportionately in

Nitrous oxide cycling in the Eastern Tropical South Pacific as inferred from isotopic and isotopomeric data

KL Casciotti, M Forbes, J Vedamati, BD Peters… - Deep Sea Research …, 2018 - Elsevier
The ocean accounts for up to 25% of global emissions of nitrous oxide (N 2 O), a potent
