AN ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY PERSPECTIVE… DMS, org From UK initiative: QUEST Atmospheric Aerosols and Chemistry
THE IPCC PERSPECTIVE… Figure 1.1: IPCC, 2001
BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLES Physical exchange, redox chemistry, biochemistry are involved • Key Questions: • how much of budget is in the atmosphere? land? ocean? • are the transfer rates between the atmosphere-biosphere large? Important? • how will human-scale perturbations affect the geological steady-state? Surface reservoirs Jacob, 1999
