Metan är en effektiv växthusgas som har stor betydelse för det globala klimatet. Metanemissioner från våtmarker med underliggande permafrost anses bidra väsentligt till dynamiken som styr koncentrationen av metan i atmosfären på de nordliga breddgraderna. Under nedfrysningen av marken hösten 2007 uppmättes ett stort utsläpp av metan vid en mätstation på nordöstra Grönland. Mängden metan motsvaradeMethane is an effective greenhouse gas of vital importance to global climate. Methane emissions from permafrost dominated peatlands contribute significantly to the dynamics of the high-latitude atmospheric methane concentration. During the freezing period of autumn 2007 a large methane emission peak was recorded at a peatland in northeast Greenland. The integral of this abrupt peak was equivalent

I nästan två århundraden har koncentrationerna av växthusgaser i atmosfären ökat som ett resultat av mänskliga aktiviteter. Detta har lett till vad som nu är känt som växthuseffekten. Behovet av att kunna förstå och förutsäga effekterna som förhöjda koncentrationer av växthusgaser har på jorden är viktigt. En diskuterad effekt är en global höjning av havsnivåerna tillföljd av höjd global medeltempFor about two centuries the atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases has been increasing as a result of human activities. This has lead to what is now commonly knows as the greenhouse effect. The need to predict and to understand the affects that elevated concentration of greenhouse gases has on Earths systems is important. One effect that is predicted to occur is the rise of global sea leve

Metan (CH4) är en av de viktigaste växthusgaserna i atmosfären och dess kraftiga ökning har bidragit till den uppvärmning som vi har upplevt fram till idag. Sedan mitten av 1980-talet påvisar mätningar att metantillväxten i atmosfären har börjat fluktuera från år till år. Orsakerna till detta är omstridda och ännu inte klargjorda. Under 2007 uppmättes en kraftig ökning i tillväxt som vaThe increasing atmospheric concentration of the greenhouse gas methane (CH4) is highly relevant for current and future global warming. Since the mid-1980s atmospheric measurements have revealed large interannual fluctuations in methane growth rate. However, the causes of this feature are still not well understood. In 2007, a peak in growth rate appears to have been particularly strong a
