53RD INTERNATIONAL COLLOQUIUM ON OCEAN DYNAMICS
Oxygen (O2) is considered an effective indicator of ocean health and climate change. Its level, distribution and variability from sub-seasonal to multidecadal scales provides relevant information on the physical and biogeochemical functioning of the ocean, and often acts to constrain life in the ocean. Current evidence indicates that the coastal (i.e., most directly influenced by […]
