Permanent dead zones are deep water occurrences that rarely exceed 2 milligrams per liter. Temporary dead zones are short lived dead zones lasting hours or days. Seasonal dead zones are annually occurring, typically in warm months of summer and autumn. Diel cycling hypoxia is a specific seasonal dead zone that only becomes hypoxic during the night
The exaerobic zone is found at the boundary of anoxic and hypoxic zones. Hypoxia can occur throughout the water column and also at high altitudes as well as near sediments on the bottom. It usually extends throughout 20–50% of the water column, but depends on the water depth and location of pycnoclines (rapid changes in water density with depth).

A 'dead zone' off the Gulf coast is larger than NOAA predicted. The massive area poses danger to marine life, and recovery could take decades. A 'dead zone' is growing in the Gulf of Mexico.
Scientists prepare to collect near-bottom water aboard the R/V Pelican to verify oxygen measurements used to determine the size of the Gulf of Mexico hypoxic zone. (NOAA/LUMCON/LSU) A "dead zone ...
The hypoxic, or O 2-deficient, zone that covered more than 700 km 2 between Newport and Heceta Head was believed to be the cause of the fish and invertebrate mortality. [27] Since 2002, seasonal hypoxia has been observed annually to extend over an area >820 km 2 along the Oregon coastal shelf region in the summer months.
Sep. 14—Low-oxygen levels off the coast of Oregon and Washington state hit earlier than usual this spring and have lasted longer than any other hypoxic event recorded on the West Coast in the ...
The standard reference is The Deciduous Forest of Eastern North America.
