Bottom waters of the northeast Pacific continental shelf naturally experience localized hypoxic conditions, with significant influences on food webs and biogeochemical cycling. In August 2021, extreme hypoxia was detected from several measurement platforms along the southern British Columbia continental shelf, with oxygen concentration <60 mu mol kg(-1), and a difference from the seasonal climatology of more than 2 standard deviations. The drivers of this extreme low oxygen event could be enhanced under future climate change, with potentially significant impacts on marine ecology and biogeochemistry.
Bottom waters of the northeast Pacific continental shelf naturally experience localized hypoxic conditions, with significant influences on food webs and biogeochemical cycling. In August 2021, extreme hypoxia was detected from several measurement platforms along the southern British Columbia continental shelf, with oxygen concentration <60 mu mol kg(-1), and a difference from the seasonal climatology of more than 2 standard deviations. Early and intense remote upwelling and local density shifts were associated with an anomalously strong spring phytoplankton bloom, which likely stimulated localized respiration of subsurface organic matter. This event was concurrent with unsuitable habitat for Pacific halibut and calcite and aragonite undersaturation throughout most of the water column. The drivers of this extreme low oxygen event could be enhanced under future climate change, with potentially significant impacts on marine ecology and biogeochemistry.
