Abstract

Methane and nitrous oxide are naturally occurring trace gases which have important roles in global warming and stratospheric ozone budget. Isotope containing molecules (isotopomers) of these gases are analyzed for several background atmosphere and for samples collected from terrestrial and marine environment along with latitudinal transect. Isotopomer analysis of these naturally occurring gases have been found to have potential importance to provide quantitative constraints for reducing uncertainties with their budget, the mechanisms of their source and sink processes, and relative importance of the area or sphere to act as sources and/or sinks.
