Question

Assume that O2 in the mixed layer is 300 mmol m-3, and that it is in perfect equilibrium with the atmosphere. Photosynthesis rapidly produces 15 mmol m-3 of O2, without giving time to the mixed layer to equilibrate with the atmosphere (i.e., assume that the air-sea fluxes is zero). Q. What will be the new saturation anomaly of the mixed layer (?O2), relative to equilibrium? ? -20% ? +20%

Assume that O_(2) in the mixed layer is 300mmolm-3, and that it is in perfect equilibrium with the atmosphere. Photosynthesis rapidly produces 15mmolm-3 of O_(2), without giving time to the mixed layer to equilibrate with the atmosphere (i.e., assume that the air-sea fluxes is zero).\nWhat will be the new saturation anomaly of the mixed layer ( /_(/)O2, relative to equilibrium?\n-20%\n+20% Assume that O in the mixed layer is 300 mmol m-3, and that it is in perfect equilibrium with the atmosphere.Photosynthesis rapidly produces 15 mmol m-3 of O2,without giving time to the mixed layer to equilibrate with the atmosphere (i.e., assume that the air-sea fluxes is zero) Q.What will be the new saturation anomaly of the mixed layer(O2),relative to equilibrium?
