This report summarizes technique, estimated precisions and results for
3H and 3He analyses made on three cruises in the Sargasso Sea. In
addition, a statistical treatment is made on 36 surface (≤10m) 3He/4He
analyses to obtain an estimate of the solubility isotope effect and its
temperature dependence to be
( α - 1) X 1000 °/oo = -(17.3 ~ 0.8) +(0.28 ~ 0.06) T (°C)
with a regression scatter of 2.6 °/oo and a linear correlation coefficient
of 0.640.
