Revealing hidden oxygen variability in the North Pacific: a two-decade analysis using GOBAI-O2
2026
Overview
Oceanic dissolved oxygen concentrations are thought to be declining under ongoing global warming, yet their variability remains less well understood than that of physical parameters such as temperature and salinity, primarily due to the limited spatial and temporal coverage of oxygen observation. Here, we examine linear trends in potential temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen in the North Pacific over the past two decades (2004–2023), using the GOBAI-O2-v2.2 dataset (Version 4.4). We compare the diagnosed oxygen trends with those of physical parameters to reveal the spatial structure of recent changes. The oxygen trends inferred from GOBAI-O2 are broadly consistent with trends observed along ship-based hydrographic repeat lines. While basin-scale deoxygenation is evident, we also identify localized oxygen increases on specific density surfaces. By relating these patterns to the surrounding physical environment, we find that the spatial heterogeneity in oxygen trends is consistent with known oceanographic processes, including the southward retreat of the oxygen minimum layer and the northward migration of a front separating the subtropical and subarctic gyres. These results underscore the value of GOBAI-O2 data in linking physical variability to previously unrecognized biological and biogeochemical patterns in the ocean.
