The Southeast Pacific produces more nitrous oxide than previously thought

In addition to carbon dioxide there are plenty of other greenhouse gases. Nitrous oxide is one of them. However, a global assessment of emissions from the oceans is difficult because the measurement methods used so far have only allowed rough estimates. Using a new technology for continuous measurements, researchers have now discovered that nitrous oxide emissions from the Southeast Pacific are much higher than previously thought.
