Abstract

Abstract: N₂O is one of the most important green house gases, which has been concerned for the past 5 decades. However, very limit studies reports the role polar oceans play in global N₂O budget. Durint the 25th and 26th Chinese Antarctic Research Expedition, surface N₂O sample were taken and analyzed. Result shows that N₂O is oversaturated near the Subtropical Front, close to equilibrium near SubAntarctic Front and undersaturated south of the Polar Front (PF). The air-sea flux south of polar front is evaluated, result shows that region south of PF is sink of atmospheric N₂O.

Key words: Southern Ocean, nitrous oxide, sink and source, air-sea flux
