![]() ![]() Temporal analysis reveals that the emissions are episodic and linked with the lake’s surface area. ![]() Here we explore 10 years of IASI NH 3 satellite data and other publicly available datasets over the area to characterize the natural NH 3 emissions in this unique ecosystem. Its remote location and the absence of nearby large anthropogenic sources suggest that the observed NH 3 is mainly of natural origin. The lake is in the centre of an endorheic (limited drainage) basin and has shallow, saline-alkaline waters. In a recent global analysis of satellite-derived atmospheric NH 3 data, a hotspot was observed in the vicinity of Lake Natron, Tanzania.
