Abstract

Major features of the chemistry of N Grand Bahama Bank waters found in 1981 were similar to those found by Broecker and Takahaski in 1962 and 1963. Our findings indicate a more complex salinity distribution on the northern banks, probably resulting from transport of high salinity waters from the S and higher P/CO₂ values in the high salinity waters. Inorganic ¹⁴CO₂ measurements made in this study can be used to calculate very approximate residence times of water on the bank. Ship, aerial, and satellite observations indicate that 'whitings' are not randomly distributed over the bank. The major features responsible for creating whitings, controlling their distribution, and determining CaCO₃ removal rates on the Grand Bahama Bank remain largely unresolved.-from Authors
