With the advance in knowledge of oceanic circulation there now exists a demand for
additional identifying properties which will serve to trace the origin and movements of
water masses in the sea, and to check earlier conclusions based entirely on temperature
and salinity distribution. Of all the known identifying properties (except temperature
and salinity) oxygen appears to be the most useful, not only because of the ease with
which it can be accurately measured at sea, but also because of the large amount of data
available on its distribution in the open ocean.

Insight into chemical, biological, and physical processes in coastal waters from dissolved oxygen and inert gas tracers
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 2017-02)In this thesis, I use coastal measurements of dissolved O2 and inert gases to provide insight into the chemical, biological, and physical processes that impact the oceanic cycles of carbon and dissolved gases. Dissolved ... -
The distribution of oxygen in the western basin of the North Atlantic
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1934-08)The distribution of dissolved oxygen in the sea is controlled by a combination of its physical, chemical and biological characteristics; on the one hand, the chemical and biological activities tend to vary the content ... -
Mass, heat, oxygen and nutrient fluxes at 30°S and their implications for the Pacific-Indian through flow and the global heat budget
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1991-07)Six hydrographic basinwide sections, two in each of the three major ocean basins, are employed in a set of inverse calculations to determine the extent of exchange between the Pacific and Indian Oceans through the ...
