Abstract Biogeochemical reactions produce volatile halocarbons and semi‐ to nonvolatile dissolved organic halogens (DOX) in marine systems. The former has a large influence on atmospheric chemistry, but little is known about DOX. Here, we present depth profiles of dissolved organic bromine (DOBr) and ‐iodine (DOI) isolated from the Central North ...
