"On the chemistry of small waterbodies linked to marine aerosols and lo" by Patrick De Deckker, Allan R. Chivas et al.
Context: In total, 43 shallow waterbodies were sampled in 1983 in the vicinity of Casey Station and nearby islands in Antarctica. The following physico-chemical parameters were obtained: water and air temperature, pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, plus major and minor elements. Aims: To identify the physico-chemical characteristics of these waters and determine their origin, and calculate their mineral saturation indices. Methods: Waters were analysed using standard methods, including for some elements, flame-atomic absorption spectrometry, spectrophotometry, ion chromatography and gravimetr...
