Concentration of organic compounds in slush, under-ice water, and the snow-ice fast-ice cover of the southeast sector of the Antarctic in April 2008

DOI

Data are presented on concentration of hydrocarbons (HC) relative to concentrations of suspended matter, lipids, organic carbon, and chlorophyll a in surface waters and snow-ice cover of the East Antarctic coastal areas. It was shown that growth of concentrations of aliphatic HC (AHC) to 30 µg/l in surface waters takes place in frontal zones and under young ice formation. AHC concentration in snow increases with growth of aerosol concentration in the atmosphere. In the lower part of ice, at the boundary with seawater, despite low temperatures, autochthonous processes may provide high AHC concentrations (up to 289 µg/l). Within the snow-ice cover on fast ice, concentration co-variations of all the compounds considered take place.
