Description:Atmospheric nitrous oxide (N2O) contributes to global warming and stratospheric ozone depletion, so reduc - ing uncertainty in estimates of emissions from different sources is important for climate policy. In this study, we simulate atmospheric N2O using an atmospheric chemistry-transport model (ACTM), and the results are first compared with the in situ measurements. Five combinations of known (a priori) N2O emissions due to natural soil, agricultural land, other human activities, and sea–air exchange are used. The N2O lifetime is 127.6 ± 4.0 yr in the control ACTM simulation (range indicates interannual variability). Regional N2O emissions are optimized
