Reported oxygen (pre-QC)

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 r_oxygen_umol_kg series from Hydrographic Bottle carries no flag at this grain, so its values cannot be screened this way.

Measured in

  • Hydrographic Bottle 690,698 values · 26,995 sampling events · 1949–2021 · 0–5,351 m · 210 grid cells · 558 cruises
    series r_oxygen_umol_kg · source column r_oxy_umol_kg reported · pre-QC no bound declared range suspect · no bound no flag at this grain

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 (0-102000+ 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
No physical bound is declared for this series in metadata/measurement_type.csv, so nothing is enforced at the ingest and the range below is simply what the release carries.
observed
Hydrographic Bottle r_oxygen_umol_kg -8741 · median 151.5 · 485.7 µmol/kg (5th–95th percentile 15.65–264)
flags
Hydrographic Bottle r_oxygen_umol_kg carries no quality code at the release grain; qual_ok keeps all 690,698.
baseline
A monthly climatology exists for this measurement (the release's climatology table: 1993–2013, dataset × grid cell × calendar month × 10 m bin), so the Explorer can draw anomalies against it rather than values.
derivation
reported value interpolated to standard depth (pre-QC, decodr); carries no quality code by design; not an input for further interpolation

The same quantity from another platform or another kind of sample, each its own page and never merged into this one: a dataset's own bottle samples would count that dataset twice, an underway intake is not a cast, and a replicate is not a mean. The reason is the record's (related[].why).
