A Statistical Evaluation of Some Physical and Chemical Characteristics of Ocean Water at Two Stations Off the East Australian Coast,

Abstract

Salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature, Mg, Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn were measured at depths down to 3600 m at two stations. The heavy metal concentrations were typical of open ocean waters. A number of correlations were found at both stations between depth, salinity, temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen saturation, and magnesium. (Author)
