Useful MatLab functions:
gas solubilities and seawater vapor pressure

These MatLab functions calculate gas solubility based on Weiss (1971) for helium, Hamme and Emerson (2004) for neon, nitrogen and argon, Garcia and Gordon (1992) for oxygen, Weiss and Kyser (1978) for krypton, and Wood and Caputi (1966) for xenon. There is some indication that the Wood and Caputi Xe solubility curve may be about 2% too high. See Hamme and Severinghaus (2007) for a discussion of this. The vapor pressure of seawater is based on Millero and Leung (1976) and Ambrose and Lawrenson (1972).
