Dissolved organic matter present in natural aquatic environments is a heterogeneous mixture of allochthonous and autochthonous materials. In coastal areas vulnerable to sewage waste, its biologically active component, the chromophoric dissolved organic ...

Chromophoric dissolved organic matter dynamics revealed through the optimization of an optical–biogeochemical model in the northwestern Mediterranean Sea [PDF]
Chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) significantly contributes to the non-water absorption budget in the Mediterranean Sea. The absorption coefficient of CDOM, aCDOM(λ), is measurable in situ and can be retrieved remotely, although ocean-colour ...

Remote Sensing of CDOM, CDOM Spectral Slope, and Dissolved Organic Carbon in the Global Ocean
A Global Ocean Carbon Algorithm Database (GOCAD) has been developed from over 500 oceanographic field campaigns conducted worldwide over the past 30 years including in situ reflectances and coincident satellite imagery, multi- and hyperspectral ...

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) in lakes across elevation gradients is a complex function of topography, climate, vegetation coverage, land use, and lake properties. To examine sources and processing of DOM from sea level to mountain lakes (3–1,574 m), we

Controls on dissolved organic matter (DOM) degradation in a headwater stream: the influence of photochemical and hydrological conditions in determining light-limitation or substrate-limitation of photo-degradation [PDF]
We investigated how absorption of sunlight by chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) controls the degradation and export of DOM from Imnavait Creek, a beaded stream in the Alaskan Arctic. We measured concentrations of dissolved organic carbon (DOC),

Sulfate radical (SO4•-) has been extensively studied as a promising alternative in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for water treatment. However, little is known about its reactivity to the ubiquitous dissolved organic matter (DOM) in water bodies.

The optics of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) in the Greenland Sea: An algorithm for differentiation between marine and terrestrially derived organic matter [PDF]
The optics of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) in the Greenland Sea were investigated and compared to results from earlier studies in the Southeastern North Sea. Absorption at 375 nm (a375) in the Greenland Sea varied from 0.77 m−1 to the detection limit of our instrument (0.05 m−1), with the highest values found during summer. The spectral

Microbial Respiration Across Subtropical Eddies: Submesoscale Variability and Biogeochemical Drivers
Abstract Island‐induced eddies from the Canary Islands region propagate southwestward along the Canary Eddy Corridor, exporting biological and biogeochemical properties to the oligotrophic open ocean. However, their contribution to organic matter remineralization, and consequently to the biological carbon pump, throughout their life cycle remains ...

Seafloor structures related to the emission of different fluids, such as submarine mud volcanoes (MVs), have been recently reported to largely contribute with dissolved organic matter (DOM) into the oceans. Submarine MVs are common structures in the Gulf

Volatile Organic Compounds in Rainwater: A New Frontier in Atmosphere–Biosphere Interactions
Abstract Rainwater is a key vector of atmospheric deposition, linking the atmosphere with terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. While the inorganic chemistry of precipitation (dominated by sulfate, nitrate, ammonium, and trace metals) has been extensively studied, organic compounds in rainwater have received less attention, and Volatile Organic Compounds
