Abstract
The distribution of particulate carbon in the deep waters of the North Atlantic Ocean can be explained on the basis of the hydrographic structure of the water masses. The degree of oxygen consumption shows an inverse quantitative correlation with the amounts of particulate carbon present: the higher the carbon values, the lower the oxygen consumption.
Résumé
-
1.
Des recherches sur le carbone particulaire dans l'Atlantique du Nord ont pu montrer que les differentes valeurs du materiel particulaire sont explicables par la situation hydrologique.
-
2.
La consommation d'oxygène donne une rélation avec le carbone particulaire: les faibles concentrations de carbone particulaire correspondent aux plus fortes consommation d'oxygène.
