Cadmuim concentrations in Weddell Sea water in 1996
Entry ID: FIMR_seawater_cd_conc_1996

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: Dissolved cadmium concentrations were measured in the sea water along a
transect from South Atlantic to the Weddell Sea (to the continental shelf).
Cadmium concentrations within a depth range of 100 to 3380 m were from 0.03 to
0.49 micrograms / litre. There was a an apparent rise in surface (100 m) water
cadmium concentrations when going over from the southern Atlantic through the
Antarctic convergence to the Weddell Sea. Cadmium concentrations detected in
deep (1000 m) water layer did not correlate with latitude.
