Rare gases in Pacific Ocean water

Abstract

Concentrations of helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon have been measured in some S. Pacific waters. For the latter four gases the observed concentrations are generally consistent to about ±10% with concentrations expected for solubility equilibrium with the atmosphere at the observed water temperatures.
