Short summary

This study applies horizontal concentration gradient measurements and inverse dispersion modelling to evaluate ammonia emissions from cattle grazing. The results can contribute to an emission factor for cattle grazing, where emissions where found to be towards the lower end of the range found in the limited number of existing studies. The influences of ammonia deposition, uneven urine patch distribution and climate conditions are discussed.
