  2. Volcanic gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanic_gas

    The Multi-Component Gas Analyzer System (Multi-GAS) is also used to remotely measure CO 2, SO 2 and H 2 S. [17] The fluxes of other gases are usually estimated by measuring the ratios of different gases within the volcanic plume, e.g. by FTIR, electrochemical sensors at the volcano crater rim, or direct sampling, and multiplying the ratio of ...

  3. Nitrous oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrous_oxide

    Nitrous oxide (dinitrogen oxide or dinitrogen monoxide), commonly known as laughing gas, nitrous, or factitious air, among others, [4] is a chemical compound, an oxide of nitrogen with the formula N 2 O. At room temperature, it is a colourless non-flammable gas, and has a slightly sweet scent and taste. [4]

  5. Greenhouse gas emissions from wetlands - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_gas_emissions...

    Some wetlands are a significant source of methane emissions [6] [7] and some are also emitters of nitrous oxide. [8] [9] Nitrous oxide is a greenhouse gas with a global warming potential 300 times that of carbon dioxide and is the dominant ozone-depleting substance emitted in the 21st century. [10] Wetlands can also act as a sink for greenhouse ...

    Nitrous oxide is the third most prevalent greenhouse gas and the worst ozone-depleting gas. The Global Nitrous Oxide Assessment (N2O) report is similar to the 2021 Global Methane Assessment, which ...

  7. Climate variability and change - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_variability_and_change

    Whereas greenhouse gases released by the biosphere is often seen as a feedback or internal climate process, greenhouse gases emitted from volcanoes are typically classified as external by climatologists. [50] Greenhouse gases, such as CO 2, methane and nitrous oxide, heat the climate system by trapping

  8. Greenhouse gas emissions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_gas_emissions

    Distribution of global greenhouse gas emissions based on type of greenhouse gas (data from 2014) Carbon dioxide (CO 2) is the dominant emitted greenhouse gas, while methane (CH 4) emissions almost have the same short-term impact. [5] Nitrous oxide (N 2 O) and fluorinated gases (F-gases) play a lesser role in comparison.
