|---|---|---|---|
| Oxygen Saturation | The ratio (as a percent) of measured oxygen concentration to the oxygen concentration of water at equilibrium with the atmosphere, based on potential temperature and salinity. | Air-sea oxygen flux. |
|
| Apparent Oxygen Utilization | The deviation of the measured dissolved oxygen from the theoretical solubility of oxygen at the measured temperature and salinity. | Sum of biological activities in terms of consumption/production of oxygen. |
