Abstract ATM-9400694 Keeling, Ralph University of California, San Diego Title: Remote Sensing of Large-Scale Air-Sea Heat Fluxes Based on Ultra Precise Measurements of the Atmospheric Kr/N2 Ratio In this proposal,a method is proposed for detecting changes in the global heat storage in the oceans, based on measuring changes in the relative abundance of atmospheric insert gases. The insert gas ratios are sensitive to ocean temperature through the temperature dependence of their solubilities in sea water. The heavier insert gases are preferentially released to the air as ocean warms. The insert gas ratios Ar/N2 and Xe/N2 are to be measured to a very high precision for feasibility demonstration. This idea is novel, simple and addresses a fundamental issue of climate variability nd change.

摘要ATM-9400694 Keeling，Ralph University of加州，San Diego标题：基于大气Kr/N2比值超精确测量的大尺度海气热通量遥感 在这项提议中，提出了一种方法，通过测量大气中嵌入气体相对丰度的变化来探测全球海洋热储存的变化。 插入气体比通过其在海水中的溶解度的温度依赖性而对海洋温度敏感。 随着海洋变暖，较重的嵌入气体优先释放到空气中。 插入气体比Ar/N2和Ar/N2将被测量到非常高的精度，用于可行性论证。 这个想法是新颖的，简单的，并解决了气候变化和变化的一个基本问题。
