Conservation of dissolved organic matter molecular composition during mixing of the deep water masses of the northeast Atlantic Ocean
Characterizing the composition ofmarine dissolved organicmatter (DOM) is important for gaining insight into itsrole in oceanic biogeochemical cycles. Using Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry, weanalyzed the molecular composition of solid phase extracted (SPE) DOM from the no...

Characterizing the composition ofmarine dissolved organicmatter (DOM) is important for gaining insight into itsrole in oceanic biogeochemical cycles. Using Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry, weanalyzed the molecular composition of solid phase extracted (SPE) DOM from the northeast Atlantic to investigatethe specificity of the DOMpool of the individualmajor watermasses of the North Atlantic. All 272 measuredsamples from depths ranging from 87 to 5609 m and latitudes from 24°N to 68°N shared 96% similarity (on aBray–Curtis scale) in their DOM composition.
