Susupended particulate matter from the Franz Victoria Trough and its composition

In this paper authors present and discuss data on distribution and mineral composition of suspended particulate matter (SPM) in the Franz Victoria Trough, collected during Cruise 14 of scientific icebreaker Akademik Fedorov in the northern Barents Sea in October 1998. Higher total SPM concentrations...

Description
Summary:In this paper authors present and discuss data on distribution and mineral composition of suspended particulate matter (SPM) in the Franz Victoria Trough, collected during Cruise 14 of scientific icebreaker Akademik Fedorov in the northern Barents Sea in October 1998. Higher total SPM concentrations (0.4-1.8 mg/l) were measured in the near-bottom layer of the Franz Victoria Strait and central part of the trough. Potential source of mineral particles in SPM is fine fractions of Barents Sea bottom sediments. They form the nepheloid layer, which spreads on the continental slope along the trough together with Barents Sea waters at 350-400 m depth.
