Sentences with phrase «by methane oxidation»

Carozza et al (2011) find that natural global warming occurred in 2 stages: First, global warming of 3 ° to 9 ° C accompanied by a large bolus of organic carbon released to the atmosphere through the burning of terrestrial biomass (Kurtz et al, 2003) over approximately a 50 - year period; second, a catastrophic release of methane hydrate from sediment, followed by the oxidation of a part of this methane gas in the water column and the escape of the remaining CH4 to the atmosphere over a 50 - year period.

Thirdly, the rate of methane oxidation is limited by the diffusion of oxygen into the sediments or wetlands.

1µmol CH4 = 1.6e - 5g / l = 1.6e - 2 g / m ^ 3 1.5 e9 g / day / 2.4 e15 m ^ 3 = ~ 6.3e - 7 g / m ^ 3 / day = ~ 2.5e - 6 micromolar increase per day diluted over the volume of the Gulf, However, given the 80 fold variation in concentrations observed above under much milder conditions, and the observations of clathrate formation at the wellhead, there are undoubtedly plumes of near methane saturated water (with volumes orders of magnitude less than that of the Gulf) drifting in the currents, slowly dissipating by diffusion and biogeochemical oxidation.
