  • Si tratta di un esteso studio effettuato nella Gerlache Intel (mare di Ross, Antartide) per la caratterizzazione delle acque costiere antartiche e la comprensione degli effetti della fusione del ghiaccio e del verificarsi del bloom fitoplantonico nella distribuzione sia areale che verticale di alcuni importanti micronutrienti e microcontaminanti. L’importanza dello studio e’ legata al fatto che le masse d’acqua che si formano nel mare di Ross concorrono fortemente alla composizione delle acque oceaniche globali. (literal)

Abstract
  • In the framework of the Italian Research Programme in Antarctica, evolution of dissolved and particulate Cu, Cd and Pb profiles in the coastal waters of Gerlache Inlet (Terra Nova Bay, Western Ross Sea) was studied during the Austral Summer 1997/98. In order to relate the distributions of trace metals with the physical and biological processes, a series of temperature and salinity measures were made, and water samples were collected to determine nutrients and chlorophyll. Samples of pack ice and marine microlayer (50-150 µm) were also collected and analysed. Concerning the surface layer, it was found that metal concentrations are mainly affected by the dynamic of the pack ice melting and phytoplankton activity. The first process influences both the input of metals from meltwaters and the covering of the seawater surface, allowing atmospheric dust input only when all ice has been melt or removed. Direct release of particulate Cu from ice was clearly shown by surface maxima and by the high concentrations of suspended particulate matter and particulate metals found in the ice core section interfaced with the seawater. Differently, the high amount of Cd in the particulate included in the pack ice seems not to affect the concentration in surface particulate; on the contrary, the corresponding increase of dissolved Cd indicates that it is released in dissolved form when the pack ice melts. Surface distribution is further complicated by the effect of phytoplankton activity, which removes Cu and Cd from water, incorporating them into organic particulate. Finally, in absence of pack ice, there is evidence of inputs of Pb and Cu due to atmospheric dust brought into the column water through marine microlayer. In intermediate and deep waters, the vertical distribution of Pb and Cd was characterised by substantially constant profiles, while Cu shown, during the end of the summer and in absence of a well-defined water column stratification, a \"scavenging-type\" distribution which overlaps its \"nutrient-Type\" behaviour.
