Abstract
The mercury content of southeastern Atlantic Continental Shelf surface waters varies seasonally, apparently in response to wind conditions. Following periods of predominantly westerly winds, concentrations are higher in surface waters than following periods of easterly winds. Mercury in atmospheric samples collected over the continental shelf support the conclusion that atmospheric transport from the continental United States may be responsible for the variations.
