Popis: The spatial distribution at sufface (-5m) and bottom (2-5m a.s.f.) /levels of the concentration and elemental composition of the suspended particulate matter show that the main trends result from the interaction between oceanographical phenomena and the morpholsedimentary characteristics of each continental margin segment The flow of the Northern current, which parallels the continental Slope, together with the topographic effects due to the bottom reliefs control the transfer of the fluvial inputs to the open-basin. The geostrphic fronts govern the main inputs of autocthonous suspended particulate matter
