Interpretation:
The relation of dissolved oxygen values to latitude or longitude have to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Solubility can be defined as maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in known amount of solvent at a given temperature and pressure.
With increase in the temperature, the solubility of a gas in a liquid decreases.
Explanation of Solution
The solubility of oxygen gas in surface of the ocean water depends upon the latitude. As the solubility of a gas depends upon the temperature, with decrease in the temperature, the solubility of gas increases. With increasing the latitude, the temperature of surface water decreases thus the solubility of gas increases. Therefore the temperature of surface ocean water is directly related to latitude not the longitude.
Also, the solubility of oxygen gas in surface ocean water increases as latitude increases towards both north and south as the temperature of surface water decreases toward the poles.
