CO2 in Natural Ice

Abstract Natural ice contains approximately 100 p.p.m. (by weight) of enclosed air. This air is mainly located in bubbles. Carbon dioxide is an exception. We estimate the fraction of CO 2 present in bubbles to be only about 20%. The remaining part is dissolved in the ice. Measurements of the CO 2 co...
