| Oxygen production |
|---|
| Approach: tracer quantification |
| Context: in situ |
| Spatial scale: meters2 |
| Temporal scale: days |
| Units: mmol O2 m-2 day-1 |
| Community captured: all |
| Co-measurements: temperature, salinity, wind speed history |

Limitations
Requires the assumption of steady-state dynamics, and that physical transport does not influence mixed layer O₂ dynamics.
