Description
Summary:Large Arctic rivers discharge significant amounts of dissolved organic matter (DOM) into the Arctic Ocean. We sampled natural waters of the Lena River, the Buor-Khaya Bay (Laptev Sea), permafrost melt water creeks, ice complex melt water creeks and a lake. The goal of this study was to characterize the molecular DOM composition with respect to different water bodies within the Lena Delta. We aimed at an identification of source-specific DOM molecular markers and their relative contribution to DOM of different origin. The molecular characterization was performed for solid-phase extracted DOM by Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS). Average dissolved organic carbon concentrations in the original samples were 490±75 µmol C/L for riverine and bay samples and 399±115 µmol C/L for permafrost melt water creeks. Average TDN concentrations were elevated in the permafrost melt waters (19.7±7.1 µmol N/L) in comparison to the river and the bay (both 13.2±2.6 µmol N/L). FT-ICR MS and ... : Supplement to: Dubinenkov, Ivan; Flerus, Ruth; Schmitt-Kopplin, Philippe; Kattner, Gerhard; Koch, Boris P (2014): Origin-specific molecular signatures of dissolved organic matter in the Lena Delta.
