a, Representative oxygen and temperature profiles in the upper 500 m depth in the Gulf of California (red) and the California Current System (blue) were used to calculate Pcmax. b, The difference between PO2 and Pcmax indicates depths at which MMR is increasingly oxygen limited (negative values, blue shading), which only occurs in the tropics (Gulf of California) and only if the temperature coefficient is less than 1.0 eV (dashed line indicates Pcmax calculated with a temperature coefficient of 0.3 eV, which is near the mean for MMR).
