| Zusammenfassung |
| The North Indian Ocean accounts for ~20-30% of oceanic emissions of the greenhouse gas, nitrous oxide. These regional nitrous oxide emissions are sensitive to relatively small shifts in oxygen levels, which in turn depend upon regional nutrient inputs. Model and observational data indicate a twofold increase in nutrient loading in this region in recent decades from atmospheric deposition and river runoff. These enhanced nutrient inputs could have large, nonlinear effects on regional marine oxygen levels and nitrous oxide emissions in both the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal. |
