Abstract: Two models of the global oceanic N₂O flux distribution are presented, and the sensitivity of these models to the gas-exchange formulation is examined. The N₂O models discussed are a multi-variate regression method based on surface delta p N₂O measurements from Weiss et al. [1992], and a model of the oceanic N₂O cycle embedded in the ocean general circulation model (OGCM) of Toggweiler et al. [1989]. The gas-exchange parameterizations considered are from Wanninkhof [1992] and Liss and Merlivat [1986]. Results indicate that the formulation of Wanninkhof [1992] may be better suited for modeling oceanic N₂O fluxes using a data-based model or an OGCM.
