Research Abstract |
Atmospheric CH_4 concentration and its carbon and hydrogen isotopic ratios have been measured on the global scale. By applying the observed data to a global CH_4 cycle model, respective emission ratios of CH_4 from biogenic, fossil and biomass burning sources are estimated to be 70, 16 and 13%. In addition, we revealed variations of CH_4 concentration and these isotopic ratios for the last 250 years by using air samples extracted from firn and ice cores. As a result of the measurements, CH_4 emission from biogenic, fossil and biomass burning sources have increased rapidly since the latter half of 19 century, since the beginning of 20 century and for the last several decades, respectively.
