Hydrochemical studies of the Kara Sea were included into the program of the integrated expedition during cruise 54 of the R/V
Akademik Mstislav Keldysh
(September 9–30, 2007). In several sea areas quite different in their weather conditions, a large set of hydrochemical analyses was carried out, including the determination of the primary nutrients (silicon and different forms of nitrogen and phosphorus), the dissolved oxygen content, and the total alkalinity and pH values. The report presents the hydrochemical conditions in the southwestern part of the Kara Sea and the most striking results from the authors’ viewpoint. The data were compared to those of the integrated oceanographic expedition of cruise 49 of the R/V
