Distribution of dissolved and suspended particulate molybdenum, vanadium, and tungsten in the Baltic Sea

The Landsort Deep data were compared with data from the northern Baltic Sea (Bothnian Bay, Kalix River and RÃ¥ne River estuaries), where particulate iron (Fe) occurs in high abundance. The particulate fractions of Mo, V, and W decreased during mixing in these estuaries. Vanadium showed the most drastic reduction, with a decrease in dissolved and particulate fractions, indicating that different processes influence the distribution of these oxyanions.
