- Scientists in India have conducted a detailed study to monitor the levels of greenhouse gases such as methane, nitrous oxide, various fluorinated gases, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide in the Central Himalayas.
- They have obtained continuous measurements of these gases in real time. This high-resolution information, gathered over a five-year period, gives scientists an understanding of how various factors, including agriculture and photosynthesis, influence the measurements of these gases.
- The study highlights how the levels of these gases change based on seasons and the time of the day.
- It gives vital information on mountain areas in South Asia, which was previously limited.
