CARBON CYCLE GROUP 81 2.6 Carbon Cycle Group Ingeborg Levin Group members Samuel Hammer (PhD), Renate Heinz (Techn.), Ingeborg Levin (GL), Tobias Naegler (Post Doc), Michael Sabasch (Techn.), Sebastian Schmitt (Dipl.), Cordelia Veidt (PhD), Felix Vogel (PhD, since Nov. 2005) Abstract High precision greenhouse gases observations (CO2, CH4, N2O, H2O), together with their isotope ratios as well as related tracer (CO, H2, SF6, 222 Radon) measurements are performed on the global, continental and regional scale. These measurements are used in combination with regional and trajectory models to study respective source and sink processes and with global box models to investigate their global budgets.

Mixing ratios are generally higher in the southern hemisphere than in the north because one of the major sinks of atmospheric molecular hydrogen is uptake by soils (see Hammer and Levin, Section 2.6.1 and Schmitt and Hammer, Section 2.6.4 in this issue). Overarching topic Investigation of the regional and global biogeochemical cycles of CO2, CH4, H2 and N2O. Background Increasing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are a major player in Earth climate change; quantitatively understanding the causes of this increase is an indispensable pre-requisite for future climate prognoses. The most reliable information on the bio-geochemical cycles of greenhouse gases come from long term atmospheric observations combined with modelling. The Heidelberg Carbon Cycle Group
