Abstract

We have carried out Raman spectroscopic experiments on air clathrates in the GReenland Ice Core Project (GRIP) deep ice core. We present new N2/O2 measurements that markedly differ from previous measurements of the Dye‐3 ice core: the N2/O2 ratio we observe is much closer to atmospheric. This has new implications for the interpretation of gas distributions in ice sheets and the reconstruction of past atmospheric conditions.
