Abstract

The results of the first three years of work in the frames of the project «Observatory –the Marginal Filter of Severnaya Dvina River» are presented. The main aim of this project is the regular investigations of sedimentological, geochemical and biological processes in the Severnaya Dvina River lower flow. The samples of surface water were taken every month during three years in two points in the Arkhangelsk city (Yacht-club) and in the port Economya. On the basis of collected by authors of the materials concentration of a suspended matter (SPM), the particulate organic carbon (POC) and the dissolved organic carbon (DOC) during different seasons of year. It is shown that the maximal concentration of a suspended matter on the period of a spring flood and reach 46 mg/l, and minimum are characteristic of the period of a winter low water – to 1,5 mg/l that corresponds to the maximal and minimum river drain. Average concentration of a suspended matter for the three-year period made 7,8 mg/l. Distribution of concentration of POC expressed in mg/l within a year repeats distribution of a suspended matter, and in three years averages 0,82 mg/l. The maintenance of POC expressed in % in three years averaged 8,5% the Seasonal maximum is noted during the spring and summer period when it reached 24,7%. The maintenance of DOC varies in the range of 5,2 – 29,2 mg/l, averaging 15,3 mg/l in three years that by 3 times exceeds mean global value – 5,75 mg/l.
