Abstract
Water temperature decides solubility and the direction of N2O flux. When water temperature is low, solubility is high and N2O in seawater is under saturation. Water temperature also affects the volume of the flux in this situation. When water temperature is high, because solubility decreases, N2O is emitted from the sea to the air. The volume of flux is decided by N2O concentration in seawater. Water temperature is main factor for N2O exchange. Japanese coastal seas can have as both sink and source of N2O.
