ABSTRACT |
Tropospheric air over Sagami-Bay near Tokyo, was sampled and analyzed to obtain vertical distributions of major greenhouse gases and other chemically important reactive gases. Data collected twice a month for a year from February 1997 to February 1998 were analyzed and are discussed here. These data revealed the following important observational facts: most greenhouse gases are well mixed and relatively uniform above 2 km; CO2, CH4 and CO showed generally high concentration at altitudes below 2 km, presumably from artificial sources on the ground; averaged CO2 concentration corresponds fairly well with the data obtained by airline sampling near tropopause; N2O has the least variation in the atmosphere independent of altitude and season, and one of the important reactive species, CO, has quite a wide variation across the tropospheric layer and qualitatively similar concentration tendencies to CH4. |
