Absolute 18O content of standard mean ocean water
Abstract
The absolute values of the 18O/ 16O ratio ( Rs) and the relative 18O content ( Xs) in SMOW have been determined by comparing SMOW mass spectrometrically with well-defined synthetic mixtures of pure D 218O and H 216O. The results are:R S = (2005.20 ± 0.45) × 10 -6, X S = (2000.45 ± 0.45) × 10 -6
