An improved inlet for precisely measuring the atmospheric Ar/N<sub>2</sub> ratio
The atmospheric Ar/N<sub>2</sub> ratio is expected to be useful as a tracer of air-sea heat exchange, but this application has been hindered in part due to sampling artifacts. Here we show that the variability in δ(Ar/N<sub>2</sub>) due to thermal fractionation at t...
