abstract = {RATIONALEIn recent years, research and applications of the
N2O site-specific nitrogen isotope composition have
advanced, reflecting awareness of the contribution of N2O to
the anthropogenic greenhouse effect, and leading to
significant progress in instrument development. Further
dissemination of N2O isotopomer analysis, however, is
hampered by a lack of internationally agreed gaseous N2O
reference materials and an uncertain compatibility of
different laboratories and analytical techniques.METHODSIn a
first comparison approach, eleven laboratories were each
provided with N2O at tropospheric mole fractions (target gas
T) and two reference gases (REF1 and REF2). The laboratories
analysed all gases, applying their specific analytical
routines. Compatibility of laboratories was assessed based
on N2O isotopocule data for T, REF1 and REF2. Results for T
were then standardised using REF1 and REF2 to evaluate the
potential of N2O reference materials for improving
compatibility between laboratories.RESULTSCompatibility
between laboratories depended on the analytical technique:
isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) results showed better
compatibility for δ15N values, while the performance of
laser spectroscopy was superior with respect to N2O site
preference. This comparison, however, is restricted by the
small number of participating laboratories applying laser
spectroscopy. Offset and two-point calibration correction of
the N2O isotopomer data significantly improved the
consistency of position-dependent nitrogen isotope data
while the effect on δ15N values was only
minor.CONCLUSIONSThe study reveals that for future research
on N2O isotopocules, standardisation against N2O reference
material is essential to improve interlaboratory
compatibility. For atmospheric monitoring activities, we
suggest N2O in whole air as a unifying scale anchor.
