Description: 

Saturation anomaly of N2/Ar ratio in percent. N2/Ar ratio determined by mass spectrometry divided by the equilibrium ratio for the potential temperature and salinity of the water - 1 * 100; ie. N2Arsat = ((N2/Ar) / (N2eq/Areq) - 1) * 100. N2/Ar saturation anomaly is calculated relative to the solubility curves of Hamme and Emerson (2004) "The solubility of neon, nitrogen, and argon in distilled water and seawater" Deep-Sea Research I: 51(11):1517-1528.
