Continuous gap-filled atmospheric N2O record for the past 800,000 years using machine learning techniques by Nasrin Salehnia, Eunji Byun, Jinho Ahn, Kajal Kumari

“…Despite the importance of nitrous oxide (N2O) as a GHG, existing ice core records contain gaps, particularly during glacial periods, due to the high dust content in ice samples that may cause in situ chemical or biological reactions, increasing N2O concentration. By developing an iterative process that applies machine learning (ML) models to existing data on CO2, CH4, and N2O from Antarctic ice cores, we simulated a continuous time series of atmospheric N2O concentrations for the past 800,000 years (kyr). …”
