Oxygen Saturation
Oxygen saturation is the maximum amount of oxygen which can be retained in water without loss to the atmosphere. It is reported by SCCF RECON as the number of milligrams of oxygen per one liter of water. The solubility of gases, including oxygen, generally decreases with increasing temperature and salinity, and increases with increasing pressure.
