متن کاملRenewed growth of atmospheric methane
[1] Following almost a decade with little change in global atmospheric methane mole fraction, we present measurements from the Advanced Global Atmospheric Gases Experiment (AGAGE) and the Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) networks that show renewed growth starting near the beginning of 2007. Remarkably, a similar growth rate is found at all monitori...
متن کاملAtmospheric methane and global change
Methane (CH4) is the most abundant organic trace gas in the atmosphere. In the distant past, variations in natural sources of methane were responsible for trends in atmospheric methane levels recorded in ice cores. Since the 1700s, rapidly growing human activities, particularly in the areas of agriculture, fossil fuel use, and waste disposal, have more than doubled methane emissions. Atmospheri...
متن کاملAtmospheric Methane: Trends and Impacts
The concentration of methane (CH4), the most abundant organic trace gas in the atmosphere, has increased dramatically over the last few centuries, more than doubling its concentration. The increasing concentrations of methane are of special concern because of its effects on climate and atmospheric chemistry. On a per molecule basis, additional methane is much more effective as a greenhouse gas ...
متن کاملAcid Rain Links to Methane Emissions from Wetlands Aspen Global Change Institute: Atmospheric Composition, Biogeochemical Cycles and Climate Change
As the most abundant hydrocarbon in the atmosphere and a powerful greenhouse gas, methane (CH4) plays an important role in both the chemical composition and radiative balance of the earth’s atmosphere. To understand it’s role in the atmosphere, its sources and sinks as well as processes governing the rates and fluxes of this gas is an important objective if we are to understand the function of ...
