Temporal variation of alkaline earth element/chlorinity ratios in the sargasso sea

July 31, 1969

An open ocean hydrographic station located 14 miles SE of the Bermuda Islands was sampled at two week intervals through a vertical profile of 2600 meters and over the period June 1966 to March 1967. 428 samples were analyzed for Ca, Mg, Sr and chlorinity. Large temporal variations in element/chlorinity ratios were observed throughout the water column.
