Abstract

The results of the study of suspended particulate matter of the surface waters in the Western Atlantic from the moderate latitudes of the northern hemisphere to the subtropics of the southern hemisphere, its distribution of quantity, and its composition are considered. The dominant influence of climatic zonality, where maximum contents and a biogenic component of suspended matter are confined to the eutrophic and mesotrophic segments of the ocean, as well as the influence of circumcontinental zonality, especially manifest in the distribution of the lithogenic fraction of suspended matter, are recorded.
