Total gas content of an ice core, 700 m long drilled at Mizuho Station, East Antarctica (Mizuho core), has been measured by two methods. One method is the so called “melting method”, in which entrapped gas in an ice sample was collected in a gas burette by melting the sample in liquid. The other met...
