Noble Gases in Cloud Water

This is a companion dataset for the Water Resources Research paper "Anomalous Noble Gas Solubility in Liquid Cloud Water: Possible Implications for Noble Gas Temperatures and Cloud Physics" by Hall, Castro, Scholl, Amalberti and Gingrich. We show that noble gases in liquid cloud water droplets are not in solubility equilibrium with the atmosphere. This has implications for using noble gases to pinpoint groundwater recharge areas in fractured media within mountainous areas. A mechanism is proposed to explain both helium excess and heavy noble gas depletion. FogSoftware.pdf contains software used to model noble gas uptake into rain droplets. SuppInfoNGTTable.xlsx contains detailed noble gas data. SuppInfoPublished.pdf has supplementary equations and figures.

本数据集为Hall、Castro、Scholl、Amalberti与Gingrich发表于《水资源研究（Water Resources Research）》的论文《液态云水滴中稀有气体（noble gas）溶解度异常：对稀有气体温度与云物理的潜在启示》的配套数据集。本数据集表明，液态云水滴内的稀有气体并未与大气达到溶解平衡状态。该发现对利用稀有气体精准定位山区裂隙介质中的地下水补给区具有重要参考意义。研究提出了一种可同时解释氦气过剩与重稀有气体耗竭现象的机制。FogSoftware.pdf 包含用于模拟稀有气体在雨滴中吸收过程的配套软件。SuppInfoNGTTable.xlsx 收录了详细的稀有气体实测数据。SuppInfoPublished.pdf 包含补充公式与相关图表。
