The Emission of Sulfur and Nitrogen to the Remote Atmosphere Working-Group Report

  • Chapter
The Biogeochemical Cycling of Sulfur and Nitrogen in the Remote Atmosphere

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Science ((ASIC,volume 159))

Abstract

Sulfur and nitrogen compounds are emitted to the remote atmosphere from many varied biological and geological sources in the form of their diverse chemical species. Since the atmospheric fate of the emitted compounds depends on their chemical reactivities with other molecules in the atmosphere, we considered the emissions of sulfur and nitrogen in terms of chemical species rather than in terms of elements. To represent accurately the temporal and spatial variabilities of the various sources, they must be understood in terms of processes rather than as “black boxes” so that emission measurements can be placed into a biogeographical and ecological framework.
