Tracing the Process of Nitrous Oxide Formation in the Ocean

First hydroxylamine measurements in the open ocean conducted by GEOMAR teamNitrogen is an essential element for both the life on land and in the oceans. Moreover, it affects the climate of Earth. However, many factors in the nitrogen cycle are not yet known or sufficiently understood. Marine chemists at the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel have now for the first time been able to measure a direct indicator of a key process of the nitrogen cycle in the ocean. The results have been published in the international journal Geophysical Research Letters.
