Spatial variability of particulate matter and organic compounds in the Indian and pacific sectors of the Southern Ocean

I. A. Nemirovskaya, V. A. Artem’ev

Abstract

In the Antarctic zone, integrated studies of particulate matter in surface waters and the snow-ice cover were carried out by means of geochemical (the concentrations of particulate matter, Corg, hydrocarbons, lipids, and chlorophyll a ) and optical techniques. Correlations between the treated compounds were found. A regression equation was created that enabled us to evaluate immediately the amount of particulate matter using the parameter of light attenuation by seawater. New data were obtained for the processes of accumulation of particulate matter and organic compounds under ice formation.
