Short summary
Stratospheric air samples have been collected using balloon-borne cryogenic samplers over Japan and analyzed for the isotopic and elemental ratios of noble gases. We report the results of the first study of the kinetic fractionations of Kr, Xe, and Ne in the stratosphere. It was suggested that changes in the stratospheric circulation during glacial and interglacial cycles may have affected the noble gas elemental ratios in ice core samples.
