Description
Summary:Basic parameters of sedimentation environment are considered: the Western Boundary Deep Current that transports sedimentary material and distributes it on the survey area; the nepheloid layer, its features, and the distribution of concentrations and particulate standing crop in it; distribution of horizontal and vertical fluxes of sedimentary material; and bottom sediments and their absolute masses (accumulation rates). Comparison of vertical fluxes of particulate matter and accumulation rates of sediments showed that contemporary fluxes of sedimentary material to the bottom provided distribution of accumulation rates of sediments within the survey area during Holocene.
