Vertical distribution of greenhouse gases above Western Siberia by the long-term measurement data

Abstract

By the results of long-term (1997–2007) airborne sounding, the vertical distribution of three greenhouse gases such as CO2, CH4, and N2O above the south of Western Siberia is investigated. The average monthly profiles of the distribution of these components in height and the long-term change in gas concentration at different heights are presented. The climatic characteristics of the vertical distribution of these gases are determined.
