Abstract: article i nfo Article history: The dynamics and distribution of nepheloid layers in multiple branches of the Whittard Canyon were observed during three hydrographic surveys carried out between 2011 and 2013. The sources of permanent and temporal variation of the layers were investigated. Seasonal variations in primary production at the surface were reflected in the nepheloid layers extending down in the water column, particularly in the upper reaches of the canyon. Benthic nepheloid layers were observed along the canyon axes to depths greater t...
