Atmosphere — Surface Exchange of Nitrogen Oxides and Ozone

  • Chapter
Biosphere-Atmosphere Exchange of Pollutants and Trace Substances

Abstract

During the development of the EUROTRAC research programme on atmosphere-surface exchange it was recognised that while for SO2 much valuable progress has been made, there were few published studies of NO2 deposition, a very weak understanding of the processes which regulate NO2 exchange and many problems both in measurement and interpretation. For emissions of nitric oxide from soil, the available literature was also very limited and yet projected global emissions using the literature available suggested a major contribution from soils and that rates of emission are strongly influenced by land-use and anthropogenic influences.
