Description: 

Same as for N2Ar but for data analyzed at University of Washington following a method that includes a 36Ar spike but otherwise follows Emerson et al. (1999) "Accurate measurement of O2, N2, and Ar gases in water and the solubility of N2" Marine Chemistry 64:337-347. Standard gases are calibrated relative to air with assumed dry mole fractions of 9.34e-3 for Ar and 0.78084 for N2.
