Summary & Outlook
• Oxygen concentrations in the thermocline of the North Atlantic have decreased substantially over the last decade, accompanied by a faster than expected increase in DIC.
• The records are too short to attribute these changes to anthropogenic climate change or to natural variability.
• Oxygen is a very sensitive tracer for studying and understanding the response of ocean biogeochemistry to climate variability and global climate change.
• Most of these changes are likely due to a reduction in the circulation rate of thermocline waters, possibly related to the predominantly positive phase of NAO during the 1990s.
