Response of the Black Sea methane budget to massive short-term submarine inputs of methane
A steady state box model was developed to estimate the methane input into the Black Sea water column at various water depths. Our model results reveal a total input of methane of 4.7 Tg yr−1. The model predicts that the input of methane is largest at water depths between 600 and 700 m (7% of the total input), suggesting that the dissociation of methane gas hydrates at water depths equivalent to...
متن کاملChemical markers of possible hot spots on Mars
[1] Although there is no evidence of active volcanism on Mars today, ‘‘localized’’ outgassing sources, the hot spots, may not be ruled out. If outgassing does occur somewhere on Mars, water, carbon dioxide, sulfur species, methane, and to a lesser extent, halogens would be the likely molecules of outgassing, based on terrestrial analogs. The sulfur species, methane, and halogens have not been d...
متن کاملEvolution of Titan and implications for its hydrocarbon cycle.
Measurements of the carbon and nitrogen isotopic ratios as well as the detection of 40Ar and 36Ar by the gas chromatograph mass spectrometer (GCMS) instrument on board the Huygens probe have provided key constraints on the origin and evolution of Titan's atmosphere, and indirectly on the evolution of its interior. Those data combined with models of Titan's interior can be used to determine the ...
متن کاملHydrocarbons Lakes on Titan
Introduction: Titan has a massive atmosphere with a pressure at surface level of ~1.5 bars. In the atmosphere the molecular nitrogen N2 is the dominant constituent (~94 percent) and the methane CH4 is the second most abundant component (~5 percent) [1]. The atmosphere of Titan is photochemically active with an efficient production of ethane, ethylene, acetylene and propane as minor components. ...
متن کاملMethane excess in Arctic surface water- triggered by sea ice formation and melting
Arctic amplification of global warming has led to increased summer sea ice retreat, which influences gas exchange between the Arctic Ocean and the atmosphere where sea ice previously acted as a physical barrier. Indeed, recently observed enhanced atmospheric methane concentrations in Arctic regions with fractional sea-ice cover point to unexpected feedbacks in cycling of methane. We report on m...
