Dissolved manganese was measured in samples taken from vertical profiles at 13 stations between 0° and 35°N in the Atlantic Ocean. Concentrations of dissolved manganese were highest in the surface waters (1.10 to 3.17 nmol/l), and decreased rapidly over the top few hundred metres to generally low (less than 0.5 nmol/l) and uniform levels for the remainder of the water column. Highest concentrations in surface waters occurred in latitudes which have particularly high loadings of atmospheric dust of Saharan origins, and it is suggested that eolian inputs are the most significant source of manganese to the upper water column in this area.
In the sections of profiles affected by advection of Mediterranean Water, the concentrations of dissolved manganese were similar to those found generally for the Atlantic water masses, and are consistent with recent data for the Mediterranean. The generally low concentrations in deep water indicate that in the areas studied there are no major influences of advection of dissolved manganese from sources on the slope or the mid-ocean ridge.
