Description
Summary:- During two cru ises of FS "Meteor " i n t he At lan t ic s ec to r of t h e Ant-a r c t i c, Nov. 1980- Feb. 1981, a range of organic compounds was determined i n seawater, pa r t i cu l a t e s and deep-sea sediment pore waters and compared with b io log ica l parameters descr ibing phytoplankton and microbiological ac-t i v i t i e s. Amino acids were determined by HPLC techniques with fluorescence detec-t i o n of t h e compounds at t h e i r na tu ra l l eve l s. Combined amino acids both i n so lu t ion and from p a r t i c u l a t e matter as wel l as mono- and polysaccharides were determined over a wide s t a t i o n gr id. DOC, f luor imet r ic chlorophyll and urea rneasurements were rout ine ly performed. A d i s tnc t ion was made between water ex-
