Missing methane found at Zackenberg
Specialists in greenhouse gasses has for some time wondered what is the cause for the unexpectedly high concentrations of methane observed in the Arctic atmosphere during the autumn.
New research from Zackenberg Research Station shows that at least some of this methane might be squeezed out of the tundra in permafrost areas, when the upper part of the soil freezes in late autumn and in early winter. In the autumn of 2007 the tundra at Zackenberg contributed with more methane to the atmosphere during October than during the entire summer. The results have global significance due to the large areal extent of tundra areas with permafrost in Siberia and Northern Canada.
