Description

Gas and local atmosphere includes the local atmosphere and gas in regolith and in water in regolith as well as gas bubbles in surface water. Gas flow and gas composition are included in this element, which therefore includes wind and the content of particulates in the local atmosphere, i.e. water droplets, pollen, etc. The local atmosphere is defined as the layer of the atmosphere above the studied area that participates in gas exchange with the studied area. It is surrounded by the atmosphere, which is a boundary to the biosphere system. Gas bubbles in water are included in this diagonal element, whereas dissolved gases are treated as water composition.
