摘要: [1] We have compared the helium isotope ratio in five samples of Pacific marine air spanning 40 year period between 1973 and 2013 against a secondary gas standard. In separate experiment we directly 3He/4He collected at same location La Jolla, California, eliminating any geographical bias. Both experiments are consistent with zero time rate change for atmospheric 3He/4He. Our best estimate is −0.0014 ± 0.0045%/yr (2σ), indicating that still valid standard terrestrial measurements.
