Short summary
In order to decipher the effect of a phytoplankton bloom on N2O, dissolved N2O was measured in the upper 1 mm of the water column (seasurface microlayer) and in the underlying water during a mesocosm study. N2O concentrations were slightly enriched in the microlayer compared to the underlying water and were apparently not affected by irradiation and a phytoplankton bloom. Our results indicate that the role of the surface microlayer for N2O cycling has been overlooked so far.
