Oxygen Absorbtion?

0 ⤊

Is there a higher level of oxygen in cold air rather than in hot air? Or do humans absorb more oxygen from the same air when it is winter rather then when it is summer?

I've done O2 sampling of water on the Ashuelot river in Keene, NH and the oxygen content is higher in colder water during winter then in the warmer water during summer for the same stream, same area. I imagine air is the same way, I would think O2 levels are somewhat higher in winter and colder climates as compared to summer and hotter climates.

The colder the air the denser it is.
