The distribution of the mean oceanic oxygen concentration results from a balance between ventilation and consumption and, in particular, reveals extended oxygen minimum zones (OMZ) in the eastern tropical Pacific and Atlantic at intermediate depth (300m - 700m). It has been recently shown that OMZs...
