THE BIOLOGY OF THE SOLWAY FIRTH IN RELATION TO THE MOVEMENT AND ACCUMULATION OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS Ⅵ. GENERAL HYDROGRAPHY, WITH AN APPENDIX ON METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS

摘要

General hydrographical conditions in the Solway Firth during the period June 1962 to December 1963 are described. It has been shown that the Solway Firth may be considered to be a Type D - vertically homogeneous - estuary.nNutrient concentrations at the Newbie station were found to be deficient with respect to phosphorus and silica, but moderately rich with respect to NO3 - N and N02 - N.
