Abstract

Samples were collected and preserved for onshore measurement of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in the area extending over the Polar Frontal Zone (PFZ) (26–40°W, 48–52°S) in September-December 1988. The highest concentrations of DOC were found in the pycnocline layer, near the southern boundary of the PFZ and in dynamically active areas, such as meanders and mesoscale eddies, where the DOC concentrations amounted to 6–8 mg l −1. To the north and south of the PFZ, concentration of DOC diminished considerably, as a result of less intensive processes of organic matter production.
