| Abstract: | Cadmium, lead and copper have been determined in the dissolved and particulate phase for surface waters of the northern North Sea. Dissolved cadmium and copper show concentration gradients associated with salinity fronts which mark the boundary between coastal and ocean waters; lead does not. The particulate phase is shown to represent only a small fraction of the total metal concentration. Processes likely to be responsible for the observed distribution are discussed. |
