Abstract

The horizontal distribution of nutrients in the St. Lawrence estuary during early July of 1975 is presented. The major sources of nutrients to the estuarine system appeared to be from the St. Lawrence River and the intermediate layer of the Laurentian Channel. By the assumption of simple mixing and conservation, the surface distribution of nutrients has been calculated. Differences between the calculated and observed values may be attributable to consumption, variability of the freshwater source and of the internal tide amplitude. Key words: nutrient distribution, estuarine circulation, mixing
