Abstract:To clarify the sources and fate of CH 4 enriched in coastal seawaters, we determined the distribution of both the concentrations and dual stable isotope compositions (δ 13 C and δ 2 H) of dissolved CH 4 in the bays of Ise and Mikawa in Japan during five sampling campaigns from 2013 to 2020, together with those in the major inflows of the Kiso, Nagara, and Yahagi Rivers. Excess CH 4 were found in the surface layer of Ise Bay, and their δ 13 C and δ 2 H values were close to those of CH 4 enriched in the major in… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
