The riddle of eastern tropical Pacific Ocean oxygen levels: the role of the supply by intermediate-depth waters

<p>Observed oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) in the tropical Pacific Ocean are located above intermediate-depth waters (IDWs), defined here as the 500–1500 m water layer. Typical climate models do not represent IDW properties well and are characterized by OMZs that are too deep-reaching. We analyze...
