Abstract
Based on long-term studies of a small sea in the Arctic Ocean, new regularities in the sedimentary process under the conditions of Arctic sedimentogenesis were established. The quantitative transition of particulate sedimentary materials into the concentrated forms (bottom sediments) in the White Sea follows the linear dependence with a local maximum in the deep nepheloid layer. Marginal filters (Severnaya Dvina River, etc.), which are areas of ultrarapid sedimentation, were distinguished. The long-term data on the concentration of suspension and fluxes of particulate sedimentary material clearly indicate stable annual nepheloid layers, i.e., the distribution of particulate forms of sedimentary material (suspension) in the water column proceeds by new regularities, which may be distinguished ever more clearly.
