Nitrous oxide and methane concentrations and air-sea fluxes in undersampled areas of the Mediterranean basin

Abstract. Nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) are potent greenhouse gases for which oceanic contributions remain uncertain, particularly in undersampled regions like the Southwest and Southeast margins of the Mediterranean Sea, where there is a major observational gap. This dat...
