Pauer, F., Kipfstuhl, J. and Kuhs, W.F. (1995). Raman spectroscopic study on the nitrogen/oxygen ratio in natural ice clathrates in the GRIP Ice Core. Geophysical Research Letters 22: doi: 10.1029/95GL00705. issn: 0094-8276.

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. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1995
