Abstract

The distribution of the suspended particulate matter concentration in the Kara Sea is analyzed based on ship and satellite data. The statistical relationships between the suspended matter concentration and the optical characteristics were revealed. Charts of the distribution of the suspended matter concentration in the Kara Sea were plotted, which confirmed that the application of optical methods for analyzing the spatial distribution of the suspended matter is effective. The most turbid waters were observed in the Ob Gulf, Yenisei Bay, the Baidaratskaya Gulf, and the adjacent regions. The smallest concentrations of suspended matter were observed in the central and western parts of the Kara Sea.
