Air mixing in firn and the age of the air at pore close-off
The air trapped in the bubbles of natural ice is not the same age as the surrounding ice. This is due to the fact that the air is enclosed in isolated bubbles only at the depth of the firn–ice transition. Within the overlying porous firn layer the air is able to mix and to exchange to a certain degr...
