We're talking seasonal variations of 0.16% and 0.21% atmospheric concentration right? Not 1% to 20%?

So not gigantic differences, plus the instrument accuracy is not listed?

OK the astro guy says it's a real effect... But gravitational layering at different masses and temperatures, plus minor rock gas deviance, chemistry, = plausible explanation?
