Dissolved oxygen

The registry carries no authored label for this measurement, so the name above is the canonical series' own description in metadata/measurement_type.csv (variable.csv holds the authored labels, five today).

Heads-up The oxygen series from Underway Meteorological (METS) carries no flag at this grain, so its values cannot be screened this way.

One row per series, one cell per year, darker with more values — the same strip the front door draws per dataset and a species page draws per taxon. Each row is one dataset's own measurement_type; the label is written once, in the title above.

By depth

Values per depth band at the release grain, one thin bar per series. The bands are the record's own (0-10 … 2000+ m).

By month

Values per calendar month, one row per series: CalCOFI's quarterly cruises show as peaks in the months the ships sail.

Range & quality

bounds: The registry declares 0 … 20 for oxygen; a value outside it is dropped at the ingest (drop_out_of_bounds()).
observed: Underway Meteorological (METS) oxygen 4.646 · median 5.634 · 12.24 (5th–95th percentile 5.089–8.264)
flags: Underway Meteorological (METS) oxygen carries no quality code at the release grain; qual_ok keeps all 9,190.
baseline: No climatology row is built for this measurement, so the Explorer draws values, not anomalies.
