Methane concentrations were highest at the bottom of the inner basin, but were also high deep in the middle basin. Concentrations were much smaller in the outer basin, and near the surface. These results suggest that these basins have not been completely flushed recently.en-USMethaneSeawater -- Analysis -- MethodologyChemical oceanography -- British Columbia -- Barkley SoundSpatial variability of methane abundance in a British Columbian fjord systemOther
