Abstract
Physical Properties and Suspended Matter of Surface Waters in the Southeastern Atlantic Ocean
K. O. Emery, J. D. Milliman, Elazar Uchupi
ABSTRACT
Samples of suspended matter in surface waters were obtained at about 750 stations in the southeastern Atlantic Ocean during a 5.5-month geophysical cruise of R/V ATLANTIS II. Concentrations were found to be related to patterns of upwelling as outlined by observations of wind direction and speed, surface water temperature, salinity, and color, seabird distribution and abundance, and the surface current pattern. The suspended matter is chiefly organic in origin owing to the high productivity of upwelled water on the continental shelf and south of the Subtropical Convergence.
