This atlas contains maps of the climatological distribution of dissolved oxygen, apparent oxygen utilization, and percent oxygen saturation at selected standard depth levels of the world ocean on a one-degree grid. Maps for all-data climatological annual, seasonal, and monthly compositing periods are presented at standard depth levels. Seasonal and monthly difference fields from the annual mean fields are presented for dissolved oxygen at selected standard depth levels. The fields used to generate these maps were computed by objective analyses of historical data. Data distribution maps are presented for all-data annual, seasonal, and monthly compositing periods at selected standard levels.
