The goal of this work was to invesigate the main global features of nutrients distribution in the World Ocean including carbon from point of view of their similarity.
To construct the sections the data of NODC (Concright, Levitus, 1995) for dissolved oxygen (O2), phosphates (PO4), nitrites (NO3), silicates (Si) and data of Lab. of Biohydrochemistry of Shirshov Institute of Oceanology (Makkaveev, 1995) for Total Inorganic Carbon (Ctot) were used.
The Analysis of this data will be published in "Okeanologiya".
The authors hope that the data will be usefull for global fluxes study and mathematical models calibrations. O<SUB>2</SUB> in Atlantic
