Thermocline mixing and vertical oxygen fluxes in the stratified central North Sea

In recent decades, the central North Sea has been experiencing a general trend of decreasing dissolved oxygen (O<sub>2</sub>) levels during summer. To understand potential causes driving lower O<sub>2</sub>, we investigated a 3-day period of summertime turbulence and O<sub...
