The flux of particles and contaminants in the Skagerrak

  • 1. Institute of Marine Research, Bergen (Norway)

Description

A field study in the Skagerrak from winter 1997 through to early spring 1998 investigated particle fluxes due to both bottom sediment resuspension and a surface phytoplankton bloom, presumably the two most important particle transport avenues in this area. Field activities included deployment of a daily as well as long-term moored sediment-trap/current-meter rig, benthic-boundary-layer (BBL) sampling, hydrocast sampling and sediment sampling. Parameters of measurement included: Water column - CTD, nutrient salts, oxygen; Water column, sediment traps, BBL, sediments - POC, PON, seston, chlorophyll a and pheopigments, grain size, 234Thorium, PAHs, PCBs, DDT (and derivatives), and 137Cesium
