Abstract

The work is devoted to the modern distribution of hydrochemical parameters in the surface layer of waters of tropical latitudes of the Atlantic Ocean. The materials were collected based on the results of two expeditions onboard the R/V “Academik Mstislav Keldysh” – AMK 79 (2019–2020) and AMK 87 (2021–2022). Four longitudinal transatlantic sections were considered. The hydrochemical characteristics of the Canary upwelling areas, the zones of aerosol transport from the desert regions of Africa, the areas of influence of the river discharge of the Rio de la Plata are described in detail.
