The decrease in oxygen content at the northerly ' Meteor' stations between 8° and 120 C. represents the layer of minimal oxygen content which extends across the tropical South Atlantic ocean (Fig. 47). This layer Riley (1951) has shown to result probably from the balance between the rates of decomposi-.
