How to measure dissolved oxygen. Dissolved oxygen is measured using a dissolved oxygen meter. The best method is to take the measurement in the field at the same time each day because DO concentrations can vary throughout a 24 hour period.issolved oxygen (DO) is a measure of the quantity of free oxygen molecules in water.
Dissolved oxygen (DO) is the amount of oxygen (O2) dissolved in the water. Dissolved oxygen is one of the best indicators of water quality. People need oxygen in the atmosphere to survive and animals that live in the ocean, like fish, need dissolved oxygen in the water to survive. The amount of dissolved oxygen that the water can hold depends on the temperature and salinity of the water. Cold water can hold more dissolved oxygen than warm water and fresh water can hold more dissolved oxygen than salt water. So the warmer and saltier the water, the less dissolved oxygen there can be. The maximum amount of dissolved oxygen that the water can hold is called the saturation value.
