Preliminary Study on the Oxygen-Minimum Layer in Water Area Adjacent to South Shetland Islands and North of Ardleyd Island, Antarctica, in Summer
In this paper, a distribution of the oxygen-minimum layer in the sea area adjacent to the South Shetland Islands and north of the Ardleyd Island, Antarctica, in summer is discussed. The vertical distribution of oxygen-minimum layer has the following features: 1). The depth at which the oxygen conten...
