| Two transects across the Celtic Sea and adjacent continental slope in August 1985 and August 1988 illustrate the importance of dynamic physical processes on dissolved trace metal distributions (Cd, Ni, Cu, Pb, Co, Fe, Mn). The influence of a coastal frontal zone can be seen in the 1985 transect, while an intrusion of open ocean waters into the shelf environment is the main factor influencing the horizontal distribution of trace metals in 1988. A third transect across the continental slope bordering the Porcupine Seabight (May 1984) reveals marked horizontal fronts in the concentrations of Fe, Mn and Cu at the shelf edge (over a 21 km distance, concentrations fall from 3 to 1 nM for Fe, from 2 to 0.5 nM for Mn, from 2 to 1 nM for Cu) which are unaccompanied... |
