Constraining the N2O Budget Using Isotopologues and Isotopomers: Insights and Methodology

This study explores the constraints on the N2O budget through the application of isotopologues and isotopomers, employing advanced computational techniques, such as the Adjoint Method. By utilizing isotopic analysis, the research enhances understanding of known sources of N2O and narrows the uncertainty range in budget projections. The findings indicate that the IPCC 2007 N2O budget is consistent with isotopic data, while highlighting the need for extending models to the pre-industrial period. Key methods and tools developed for this research are also discussed.
