Abstract
In this paper some results obtained in the course of investigations of the hydrological and hydrochemical peculiarities of the tidal frontal zone and of the upwelling's frontal zone in the Guinean shelf area are reported. We have confirmed a direct influence of these zones on the bioproductive properties of the sea-water, suspension distribution, and the types and composition of bottom sediments.
