The higher the temperature, the less gases are dissolved in the water. This simple physical relationship explains, among other things, the measurable loss of oxygen in the warming ocean. In Nature Communications, however, scientists from the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel have published a model study suggesting that despite warming and centuries of deoxygenation the ocean will contain more oxygen in 4000 years than today. The study explains inconsistencies in the oxygen budget of previous simulations, but also raises new questions.
