Tracking Past Changes in Ocean Heat Content with Atmospheric Noble Gases in Ice Cores

As an emerging proxy for total ocean heat content, atmospheric noble gas ratios in ice cores have the promise to provide key insights into Earth’s energy budget, and how it has responded to past climate perturbations. This method takes advantage of the mass-conservation of krypton, xenon, and dinitr...
