Abstract
In this paper, the results of long-term studies of the nepheloid layer in the Norwegian Sea in the Komsomolets test area are considered. Its principal characteristics such as its thickness, the particulate matter concentration in the nepheloid layer, and its standing crop are presented. The nepheloid layer is formed by the near-bottom current, which, together with the particulate standing crop, determines the horizontal flux of the sedimentary matter over the continental slope. Also presented are data about the currents in different years of observations as well as estimates of the horizontal fluxes.
