Atmospheric Methane: Sources, Sinks and Role in Global Change - Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on the Atmospheric Methane Cycle, Sources, Sinks, Distributions and Role in Global Change, Held at Mt.Hood Near Portland, OR, USA, October 7-11, 1991

Edited by Mohammad Aslam Khan Khalil






| book description |

Methane plays many important roles in the Earth's environment. It is a potent greenhouse gas that warms the Earth, controls the oxidizing capacity of the atmosphere (OH) indirectly affecting the cycles and abundances of many atmospheric trace gases, provides water vapour to the stratosphere, scavenges chlorine atoms from the stratosphere, produces ozone, CO, and CO2 in the troposphere, and is an index of life on Earth. By all measures, methane is second only to CO2 in causing future global warming. The book presents a comprehensive account of the current understanding of atmospheric methane, and summarizes more than a decade of intensive research on the global sources, sinks, concentrations and environmental role of methane.
