✦ Synopsis

Abstract

New observational data are discussed which indicate that:

(a) Nitrous oxide is uniformly mixed with the atmosphere up to 10 km and perhaps to 40 km, and that the volume mixing ratio is 3.5 × 10^−7.^

(b) Bacterial reactions in the soil can supply nitrous oxide to the atmosphere at a rate sufficient to compensate photo‐chemical decomposition.

(d) The average magnitude of the nitrogen cycle between earth and atmosphere is probably not less than 10^11^ molecules cm^−7^ sec^−1.^.
