Origins and fates of DOM along the New England continental margin. Technical progress report, Year 2

摘要

In year two, the authors have analyzed DOM (dissolved organic matter) samples from the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, performed preliminary experiments concerning the decomposition of DOM, and continued methodological development work for measuring DOM isotopic contents. The year three plans are to finish the methods development, and use samples from two upcoming cruises to characterize the cycling of dissolved organic matter along the eastern US seaboard. A brief summary of the year two activities is presented.
