In this paper, we outline the need for a coordinated international effort toward the building of an open-access Global Ocean Oxygen Database and ATlas (GO 2 DAT) complying with the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable). GO 2 DAT will combine data from the coastal and open ocean, as measured by the chemical Winkler titration method or by sensors (e.g., optodes, electrodes) from Eulerian and Lagrang...

The southern Namaqua shelf, north of the Cape Columbine upwelling center, is particularly prone to red tide. Two influences of the surface boundary layer on the development of red tide in this area were investigated—the dynamics of the upper mixed layer in determining phytoplankton community composition and the role of mesoscale circulation in bloom concentration and transport. Two survey periods (18 February‐11 March 2000 and...
