The oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) of the tropical North East Atlantic (TNEA) is located between the oxygen-rich equatorial region and the Cape Verde Frontal Zone at about 20°N in a depth range of 300 – 700 m. Its horizontal extent is predominantly defined by the North Equatorial Current and by the equat...
