TLDR
In this paper, the ozone depletion potential-weighted anthropogenic emissions of N2O with those of other ozone-depleting substances were compared, and it was shown that N 2O emission currently is the single most important ozone-destroying emission and is expected to remain the largest throughout the 21st century.
Abstract
By comparing the ozone depletion potential-weighted anthropogenic emissions of N2O with those of other ozone-depleting substances, we show that N2O emission currently is the single most important ozone-depleting emission and is expected to remain the largest throughout the 21st century. N2O is unregulated by the Montreal Protocol. Limiting future N2O emissions would enhance the recovery of the ozone layer from its depleted state and would also reduce the anthropogenic forcing of the climate system, representing a win-win for both ozone and climate.

TransCom N2O model inter-comparison, Part 2: Atmospheric inversion estimates of N2O emissions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined N2O emission estimates from five different atmospheric inversion frameworks based on chemistry transport models (CTMs) and used the same prior emissions and observation data set to assess the performance of the inversions and diagnose problems in the modelled transport.

A modeling study on mitigation of N2O emissions and NO3 leaching at different agricultural sites across Europe using LandscapeDNDC.

TL;DR: The applied optimization approach can be used also in a prognostic way to predict optimal timings and fertilization options (rates and splitting) upon accurate weather forecasts combined with the knowledge of modeled soil nutrient availability and plant nitrogen demand.

Long‐term research avoids spurious and misleading trends in sustainability attributes of no‐till

TL;DR: Test the long-term environmental sustainability and profitability of continuous no-till agriculture on yield, soil water availability, and N2 O fluxes using a moving window approach and results underscore the importance of decadal and longer studies for revealing consistent dynamics and emergent outcomes of no-Till agriculture.

The compact Earth system model OSCAR v2.2: description and first results

TL;DR: OSCAR v2.2 as discussed by the authors is a simple Earth system model that uses a book-keeping module to estimate land-use change emissions to simulate the change in atmospheric carbon dioxide, the tropospheric chemistry and the natural wetlands.

Vertical navigation trajectory optimization algorithm for a commercial aircraft

TL;DR: The algorithm was developed in MATLAB, and its validation was performed using a complete aerodynamic model in the software FlightSIM developed by Presagis and the profiles generated by the Part Task Trainer of a commercial Flight Management System.

Climate change 2007: the physical science basis

TL;DR: The first volume of the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report as mentioned in this paper was published in 2007 and covers several topics including the extensive range of observations now available for the atmosphere and surface, changes in sea level, assesses the paleoclimatic perspective, climate change causes both natural and anthropogenic, and climate models for projections of global climate.

The influence of nitrogen oxides on the atmospheric ozone content

TL;DR: In this paper, the probable importance of NO and NO2 in controlling the ozone concentrations and production rates in the stratosphere is pointed out and some processes which may lead to production of nitric acid are discussed.
