Abstract
Observations of the temporal and spatial distribution of N_2O in solution are not yet sufficient to permit quantitative assessment of the role of the ocean in the budget of atmospheric N_2O. Consideration of the global nitrogen cycle suggests that the land should be the primary source of N_2O. The gas is removed in the atmosphere by photolysis and by reaction with O(¹D), and there may be additional sinks in the ocean.
