Decadal Trends in Oxygen Concentration in Subsurface Waters of the Northeast Pacific Ocean
Description: Previous studies have shown decreasing oxygen concentration (O2) in subsurface waters of the continental slope from California to Canada since about 1980. With longer time series the authors show that from southern California to northern Canada increasing O2 preceded these decreases from 1950 to about 1980. Because there has been no clear trend since 1950, the scientists cannot yet conclude that anthropogenic climate change is the cause of these decreasing trends after 1980. [Source: Atmosphere-Ocean ]
