Abstract
    The total suspended matter concentration (TSM) plays an important role in the marine system of the North Sea. TSM is the main source of turbidity, which determines to a large extent the underwater light climate. This atlas provides information on the statistics of the natural near-surface total TSM. Such information is needed for testing hypotheses about foreseeable changes in the turbidity levels originating from potential human activities. The information is condensed mainly in charts and graphs.
