The deepwater oxygen deficit in stratified shallow seas is mediated by diapycnal mixing https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-47548-2
"mixing down of #oxygen by summer #storms is an important process in topping up the deep water oxygen levels in summer, and in keeping these seas healthy."
Oceanographers uncover the vital role of mixing down of oxygen in sustaining deep sea health
New research led by oceanographers from the School of Ocean Sciences at Bangor University has shown for the first time the important role of the 'mixing down' of oxygen in maintaining healthy conditions in the deep waters around the UK and elsewhere.
