POSTULATED ANOMALOUS DISSOLVED ATMOSPHERIC GAS CONCENTRATION IN THE ARCTIC OCEAN.

Abstract

The possibility of anomalous concentrations of dissolved atmospheric gas in certain Arctic Ocean waters is theorized. The unique geometry of the Arctic Basin and its permanent ice cover create a gigantic 'zone-refiner' that could lead to this condition. The application of a previously developed NRL instrument to an investigation of this phenomenon is indicated and recommended. (Author)
