COMPOSITION AND DISTRIBUTION OF ORGANIC CARBON IN THE INDIAN OCEAN (Soderzhanie i Raspredelenie Organicheskogo Ugleroda v Vodakh Indiiskogo Okeana),

Abstract

Data on dissolved organic matter in the Indian Ocean are discussed. The surface water content of organic carbon is determined. The distribution of dissolved organic carbon in the surface water is related to the distribution of plankton. The dissolved organic matter shows a general decrease from surface to bottom. The pattern of the vertical distribution of dissolved organic matter in the Indian Ocean is related to that of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. (Author)
