presented or the variation between the two sets of available 

 observations. 



SUMMARY 



Distribution patterns for organic, inorganic, and total phosphorus, 

 nitrate- and nitrite-nitrogen and silicate-silicon are discussed for the 

 Labrador-Greenland section in 1963. The position of the high sub- 

 surface nutrient concentrations corresponds with conditions of the 

 surface circulation, while a distinct deep water maximum is tentatively 

 correlated with the presumed formation of North Atlantic Deep 

 Water in the area. The ratios of change between the parameters 

 analyzed are calculated and a comparison of organic phosphorus 

 levels for 1963 and 1962 is made.
