We examined the relationship between CO2 partial pressure (pCO2) and dissolved oxygen (DO) based on a cruise conducted in July 2004 to the northern South China Sea (111°–118° E 18°–23° N), spanning from estuarine plume, coastal upwelling and deep basin areas. Distinct relationships between pCO2 and...
