对氦和霓虹在海水中的溶解度进行了新的测量；结果(在其他地方发表)表明，霓虹实际上在海洋中是过饱和的，而不是像以前的数据所表明的一般不饱和。根据新的溶解度数据，He-Ne-Ar饱和度异常的模式表明，在大西洋表面和深水以及太平洋深水中存在注入的“大气成分”，从0.5至1毫升空气(STP)/公斤海水不等。太平洋深处的氮-氩关系也与这一效应一致。因此，除了T和P之外，还需要第三个参数来研究饱和度异常。注入的空气分数的大小占了大西洋深水中所有“过剩的He”和太平洋中过剩的大约60%。太平洋中非大气过剩的氦相当于3%的异常，推测是放射源和原始氦。
New solubility measurements have been made for helium and neon in seawater; the results (published elsewhere) show that neon is actually supersaturated in the ocean, rather than generally undersaturated as indicated by previous data. The pattern of He-Ne-Ar saturation anomalies, based on the new solubility data, shows the presence of an injected “atmospheric component” in Atlantic surface and deep waters and in Pacific deep waters, ranging from 0.5 to 1 ml of air (STP)/kg seawater. Nitrogen-argon relationships in the deep Pacific are also consistent with this effect. In addition to T and P, a third parameter is thus required for the study of saturation anomalies. The magnitude of the injected air fraction accounts for all of the “excess He” in Atlantic Deep Water and about 60% of the excess in the Pacific. The non-atmospheric excess He in the Pacific corresponds to an anomaly of 3%, presumably radiogenic and primordial helium.
