Data supplement to: Tian et al (2023): Global Nitrous Oxide Budget 1980-2020, Earth Syst. Sci. Data Hanqin Tian et al. https://doi.org/10.18160/RQ8P-2Z4R
Short summary
Atmospheric concentrations of nitrous oxide (N2O), a greenhouse gas 273 times more potent than carbon dioxide, have increased by 25 % since the preindustrial period, with the highest observed growth rate in 2020 and 2021. This rapid growth rate has primarily been due to a 40 % increase in anthropogenic emissions since 1980. Observed atmospheric N2O concentrations in recent years have exceeded the worst-case climate scenario, underscoring the importance of reducing anthropogenic N2O emissions.
