Abstract:1) Atmospheric oxygen cycles on a seasonal basis, as does carbon dioxide.
2) Photosynthesis is likely contributing to these cycles, but the dominant spatial regions are unknown and the contribution of marine plankton has been assumed to be small.
3) Since the cyclic rate of change of carbon dioxide is very highly correlated with that of sea ice, I predict the cyclic rate of change of oxygen will also be, at least at high latitudes.
4) I test and confirm the prediction that seasonal sea ice and oxygen … Show more
