Colored Dissolved Organic Matter in Frontal Zones

  • Chapter
Chemical Oceanography of Frontal Zones

Part of the book series: The Handbook of Environmental Chemistry ((HEC,volume 116))

Abstract

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) includes a broad range of organic molecules of various sizes and composition that are released by all living and dead plants and animals. Measuring the fraction of DOM that absorbs light (colored or chromophoric DOM; CDOM) and fluoresces (referred to as CDOM fluorescence or FDOM) at specific wavelengths is diagnostic of DOM source and amount. The composition and dynamics of CDOM and FDOM across estuarine and coastal mixing zones, eddies, upwelling, and nepheloid layers are discussed in relation to the anomalies in physical (e.g., salinity and temperature), chemical (e.g., nutrients, δ18O, dissolved oxygen), and biological properties (e.g., chlorophyll-a, primary production) reported in the frontal zone. In situ observations using profiling sensors and gliders, and remote sensing across coastal and oceanic fronts are described.
