Table 3 Descriptions of the dissolved oxygen and salinity following the information provided in the library P09 of the “MEDATLAS Parameter Usage Vocabulary” hosted and managed by the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) by means of the NERC Vocabulary Server (NVS2.0).
Acronym SDN : P09 | Parameter | Units SN : P06 | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
DOX1 | DISSOLVED OXYGEN | mL/L | Volume of oxygen dissolved per unit volume of the water column |
DOX2 | DISSOLVED OXYGEN | μmole/kg | Quantity (i.e. number of oxygen dissolved per unit mass of the water column |
PSAL | PRACTICAL SALINITY | No units | The quantity of dissolved ions (predomintly salt in seawater) expressed on a scale (PSS-78) based on the conductivity ratio of a seawater sample to a standard KCl solution. |
