Note: * = volume of gas released. † = volume of components released. ‡ = concentration of components released. ** = concentration in situ. Core length is reported as measured after the core was degassed and split (i.e., curated length). All cores had a nominal length of 1 m. The difference between the measured length and 1 m may be due to two factors: (1) incomplete recovery and (2) dissociation of gas hydrate during degassing. The lower concentration estimate corresponds to the assumption of 100% recovery; the higher estimate corresponds to the assumption that core length represented the percentage of recovery.
