Optical signatures of dissolved organic matter transformation in the global ocean

Characterization of dissolved organic matter in terms of its composition and optical properties, with an eye toward ultimately understanding its deep ocean dynamics, is the currently active frontier in DOM research. We used UV-visible absorption spectroscopy and fluorescence excitation-emission matr...
