There is trapped atmospheric gas trapped in those samples.they also show an indication of the salinity of the waters.

In 1896 Swedish chemist and Nobel laureate Svante Arrhenius used Langley's bolometer to measure the heat from the Moon at various altitudes above the horizon in order to estimate the dependence of atmospheric heat trapping on amount of water vapor and CO2 along the line of sight to the Moon, a much longer path near the horizon than at 45 degrees.

Carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, and a few other atmospheric gases trap heat energy and maintain Earth's temperature range.

Water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide — the so - called greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the Earth's atmosphere - create a natural «greenhouse effect» by «trapping» heat between the Earth's surface and the Troposphere (the atmospheric layer 5 to 10 miles above the surface).

The paper, «Reconstruction of past atmospheric CO2 concentrations by ice core analysis», acknowledges that, due to impurities, liquid water can exist as low as -50 deg C. Diffusion of CO2 into this water, due to its far higher solubility than nitrogen and oxygen, will partially deplete the CO2 from trapped air bubbles.
