Description: 

Calibrated dissolved oxygen; The dissolved oxygen concentrations calculated above were corrected to dissolved oxygen concentrations measured by Winkler titration of bottle samples collected during concurrent Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study cruises (available at http://www.bco-dmo.org/project/2124 or http://bats.bios.edu).

Linear regression yields the relationship:

oxygen_cal [umol/kg] = oxygen [umol/kg] * 1.0331 - 6.9976; R2 = 0.97.
