The influence of Congo River discharges in the surface and deep layers of the Gulf of Guinea (2009)
VANGRIESHEIM, Annick, PIERRE, C, AMINOT, Alain, METZL, N, BAURAND, F, CAPRAIS, Jean-Claude
The main feature of the Congo-Angola margin in the Gulf of Guinea is the Congo (ex-Zaire) deep-sea fan composed of a submarine canyon directly connected to the Congo River, a channel and a [sediment]...
GUILLAUD, Jean-Francois, AMINOT, Alain, DELMAS, Daniel, GOHIN, Francis, LUNVEN, Michel, LABRY, Claire, ...
Seasonal variations in nutrient inputs are described for the main rivers (Loire and Vilaine) flowing into the northern Bay of Biscay. The river plumes are high in N/P ratio in late winter and spring,...
The paper reviews the methods described in the literature for the determination of total dissolved free primary amines (TDFPA) by fluorescence. A wide set of reaction conditions can be found, but...
LUNVEN, Michel, GUILLAUD, Jean-Francois, YOUENOU, Agnes, CRASSOUS, Marie-Pierre, BERRIC, Roger, LE GALL, Erwan, ...
A new Fine Scale Sampler (FSS) was designed and used in the Loire River plume (Bay of Biscay, France) in order to study phytoplankton distribution in highly stratified water columns. The FSS consists...
Dissolved organic carbon (DOC), dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) and dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) measured in deep profiles in the N-E Atlantic and in the N-W Mediterranean in the period...
LABASQUE, Thierry, CHAUMERY, Christian, AMINOT, Alain, KERGOAT, Gilles
The spectrophotometric iodine measurement for oxygen determination by the Winkler method is re-examined for theoretical and operational aspects. It is shown that the selection of an isobestic point...
A segmented flow automated method with on-line photo-oxidation for the determination of dissolved organic phosphorus + soluble reactive phosphorus (DOP + SRP) in seawater and fresh water is described...
ANDRIEUX, Francoise, AMINOT, Alain
Phosphorus forms with respect to sediment characteristics, such as grain-size, and major chemical elements, were studied in French coastal marine areas (the Bay of Seine and the Loire and Gironde...
AMINOT, Alain, KEROUEL, Roger, BIROT, Dominique
A version of the orthophthaldialdehyde-fluorescence ammonium determination for flow injection analysis (FIA) is presented here, with a view to its use for in situ, low-power consumption systems,...
Coastal eutrophication: A review of the situation along the French coasts (2001)
MENESGUEN, Alain, AMINOT, Alain, BELIN, Catherine, CHAPELLE, Annie, GUILLAUD, Jean-Francois, JOANNY, Michel, ...
In order to be able to count the cases of coastal eutrophication and to propose methods to monitor as well as to reduce these phenomena, first of all it is necessary to precisely define the word...
EL SAYED, Mohamed A., AMINOT, Alain
Extractable organic copper using C18 Sep-Pak cartridges was investigated in seawater after laboratory experiment showed that the (C18 Sep-Pak) cartridges were reliable, in open and coastal waters...
Nutrients and phytoplanktonic growth in the Bay of Seine, France. (1998)
AMINOT, Alain, GUILLAUD, Jean-Francois, ANDRIEUX LOYER, Françoise, KEROUEL, Roger, CANN, Philippe
As part of the Programme National d'Oceanographie Cotiere, the nutrient dynamics of the Bay of Seine were studied between 1992 and 1994 in order to complement work on ecological modelling. Firstly,...
Hydrology, nutrients and chlorophyll in the Bay of Sein (1978-1994) (1997)
AMINOT, Alain, GUILLAUD, Jean-Francois, KEROUEL, Roger
The data of hydrology, nutrients and chlorophyll obtained in the Bay of Seine over the period 1978-1994, from 14 océanographie cruises, are synthetised and illustrated by an atlas. The Bay is a...
Fluoride in the Seine Bay. (1985)
AMINOT, Alain, LEGUELLEC, A, MAUVAIS, J
This paper deals with the water concentrations of fluoride in the bay of Seine outfall. Many graphs report spatial variations and the results obtained are compared with normal marine values.
Nutrients in the Seine Bay. (1985)
AMINOT, Alain, KEROUEL, Roger, MAUVAIS, J
Seasonal variations of dissolved nutrient concentrations are reported in this paper. Impacts of freshwater are investigated by the study of dilution, nutrient quantity, and relation with...
