Hydrology and hydrochemistry of the surface water layer near the sea-ice edge in the Scotia Sea (December 1988 - January 1989)
11 pages, 13 figures Four water masses were distinguished in the upper water layer between Elephant Island and the South Orkneys. Measurements of temperature, salinity, concentrations of dissolved oxygen and silicates were used for the analysis of the hydrological situation and to recognise the orig...
