An optimum multiparameter (OMP) analysis was applied to samples collected during a cruise in the northeast North Atlantic with the aim of objectively defining water mass realms and calculating water mass mixing-weighted average (archetypal) concentrations of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and nitrogen (DON) and fluorescent dissolved organic matter (FDOM). The profile of archetypal DOC, which retains the basin-scale variability from the formation area of the water masses to the study area, was modeled with a constant initial concentration of 60 +/- 1 mu mol kg(-1) that decreased linearly with increasing apparent oxygen utilization (AOU) at a rate of -0.20 +/- 0.03 mol C per mol of AOU. The archetypal C:N ratio of dissolved organic matter was also modeled... |
