Short summary
Phytoplankton stimulate oxygen production in the surface ocean whereas bacteria will utilize that oxygen. We measure the first coastal r-O2:C - oxygen needed to oxidize carbon over a 5 yr period in Southern California to determine the controlling factors in this highly dynamic region. We found that seasonality and blooming conditions have a strong impact on this ratio. We also found that a major local oil spill affected r-O2:C, demonstrating that coastal waters are impacted by climate.
