Abstract
Marine Chemistry research was conducted in the summer of 1971 and 1972 in the Greenland Sea and in December of 1972 in the Ross Sea. Techniques used to determine trace gases (carbon monoxide, Freon-11, methane) and mercury in sea water, sea ice and snow, and in the polar atmosphere are discussed. Methods for studying polar marine aerosols are outlined and the use of satellite imagery for the construction of air mass trajectories near the Antarctic continent is described.Results of the investigations are included.
