Model additions include results from (i) quantum chemical calculations that clarify the previously uncertain
gas phase mechanism of formation of MSA and (ii) a combination of published and experimental estimates of OSC emissions, such as those from marine, agricultural, and urban processes, which include pet waste and human breath.

mechanism by which methane could be released from the giant
gas fields — especially if those taliks are high in salt, and allow
gas phase methane transport within the talik, and ultimately to the atmosphere.
