Surface absorption and fluorescence measurements of Dissolved Organic Matter (DOM) were conducted along with hydrographic parameters in the Canada and Makarov Basins. Parallel factor analysis of DOM fluorescence identified four humic-like and one protein-like component in all 107 surface samples. Ba...
