摘要
A diurnal oxygen rhythm with an amplitude of less than 0.6% of ambient oxygen concentration was measured at 5 stations in the mixed layer of the Atlantic Ocean at 20° N through the application of a high precision Winkler titration method. At anyone time and location the mixed layer showed a very constant vertical oxygen concentration. The estimated gross primary production in the mixed layer was high and had a mean value of 800 mg C·m-2·d-1. © 1979.
