为深入解析西太平洋溶解有机碳的生物地球化学过程，本研究于2015年12月至2016年1月，开展了西太平洋上层水体有色溶解有机物（CDOM）吸收光谱和荧光光谱特征研究。研究结果表明，西太平洋上层水体CDOM吸收系数a（320）变化范围为0.01~1.07 m-1，平均值为0.18 m-1；其较高值位于100~200 m水层，表层的海水相对含量较低，主要以有机物的光化学分解为主。采用PARAFAC分析CDOM三维荧光光谱特征，得到1种类腐殖质组分C2（252（310 nm）/405 nm）及2种类蛋白组分C1（224（276 nm）/335 nm）和C3（224（260 nm）/300 nm），其中类腐殖质荧光组分占总荧光强度的11%~22%，蛋白质荧光组分占总荧光强度的78%~89%，蛋白质荧光中类色氨酸和类络氨酸组分对荧光强度的贡献相当。洋流在大尺度上控制西太平洋CDOM的分布特征，两流交界处和环流形成区域的CDOM相对含量较高，荧光信号较强。西太上层水体CDOM相对含量和荧光信息，与温度、盐度、DO和营养盐等理化因素之间的相关分析结果表明，CDOM主要成分类蛋白质的产生主要受上层水体初级生产过程控制。  相似文献

为深入认识马里亚纳海沟溶解有机物的垂直变化特征,本文于2015年12月采集马里亚纳海沟从表层至深层的水样,分析其DOC含量和CDOM的光谱特征。研究结果表明,研究站位DOC含量范围为37.12~58.30μmol·L-1,以表层最高,2 000m次之,之后维持较低含量。CDOM吸收系数a(320)以8 727m处最高,为0.48m-1;4 000m处CDOM的a(320)最小为0.14m-1。CDOM相对含量从表层至4 000m层与DOC变化规律较为一致,底层则与DOC不同,呈现升高现象。根据CDOM荧光光谱解析出3种类腐殖质和4种类蛋白荧光组分,其中类腐殖质组分荧光强度从表层至底层相对稳定,类蛋白组分荧光信号变化较为显著,尤其2种短波激发类蛋白荧光组分荧光信号的变化与表层较高初级生产、2 000m有机物再生产,以及底层物质的缓慢降解和汇集作用相对应。  相似文献

于2019年3月、7月和10月对长江口及邻近海域有色溶解有机物(CDOM)的分布及河口混合行为进行分析研究。通过对盐度、吸收光谱斜率S275～295、吸收系数aCDOM(355)以及叶绿素a的分析发现,在河口内低盐度区,7月淡水流量大,陆源输入量最大,aCDOM(355)值最高,3月CDOM来源主要受陆源输入和浮游植物生产活动的影响,aCDOM(355)值较10月高;在口外高盐度区,3月和7月的aCDOM(355)值相近,均低于10月,CDOM分布主要受浮游植物生产活动的影响。利用三维荧光光谱?平行因子分析方法共鉴定出4个荧光组分:类蛋白质组分C1(280/330 nm)、类腐殖质组分C2(300/350 nm)、类腐殖质组分C3(260/465 nm)和类腐殖质组分C4(320/410 nm)。在3月、7月及10月,4个荧光组分强度由长江口内到口外呈递减趋势,受陆源输入和浮游植物生产活动的影响,平均荧光强度的季节变化总体上来说,由大到小依次为7月、10月、3月。3个季节CDOM荧光组分均存在偏离理论稀释线的现象,说明CDOM的来源(陆源输入、沉积物再悬浮和现场生物活动)和去除(被颗粒物吸附、光降解和细菌降解)机制复杂多变,揭示了长江口区域CDOM在不同时空下的不保守混合行为。  相似文献

有色溶解有机物(CDOM)是海洋碳循环的重要组成部分,其来源、组成和特性是揭示复杂的河口过程的重要依据。本文选取北方河口地区有机碳的主要贡献者,芦苇和海洋微藻,研究其生产的CDOM的吸收光谱和荧光光谱特征。结果显示,芦苇和海洋微藻CDOM吸光度随波长缩短呈指数增长,Sg值与M值之间呈对数型正相关;采用PARAFAC方法解析CDOM荧光三维谱图(EEMs),共识别出3种荧光组分:类色氨酸、类酪氨酸和类腐殖质。芦苇和海洋微藻新溶出或分泌的类酪氨酸组分,其结构基本相同;细胞破碎裂解产生的类色氨酸组分,其结构存在一定差异;类腐殖质组分来源于芦苇和海洋微藻细胞分泌物质降解或细胞破碎裂解产物。  相似文献

珠江口磨刀门溶解有机物CDOM 三维荧光光谱特征   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
采用三维荧光对珠江口磨刀门夏秋季有色溶解有机物(CDOM)时空变化进行研究,分析其组成及荧光强度。结果表明, CDOM 三维荧光峰谱包括 UV 类腐殖质 A、陆源 Vis 类腐殖质 C 和海源 Vis类腐殖质M,以及类蛋白质T。在入海过程中,其组成未发生变化,但其荧光强度随盐度增加逐渐减小,反映了CDOM主要来源是陆源,并且主要受海水物理稀释控制,是一种典型的保守混合行为。在定点站位涨落潮周期中, CDOM的荧光强度不仅受到海水稀释的作用,表层水体CDOM受到紫外线的光降解作用,同时中层水体CDOM受到浮游植物的影响,反映了盐度、紫外线强度、生物活动对CDOM具有的共同影响。  相似文献

渤海有色溶解有机物的三维荧光光谱特征   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
本文采用三维荧光光谱(FEEMs)技术, 结合FEEMs特定光谱区荧光区域积分(FRI)法, 测定了2010年9月中旬渤海23个站位不同层次的有色溶解有机物(CDOM)样品, 以探讨渤海CDOM组分的水平和垂直分布特征以及控制因素。FEEMs的总累计积分和各荧光团的荧光区域积分比例可作为表征海域CDOM分布特征的一个良好指标, 且优于常规的单点荧光法。结果表明, 渤海CDOM中含有类腐殖质荧光团A、B、C, 类色氨酸荧光团M, 以及类酪氨酸荧光团N。从沿海至外海, CDOM总累计积分值不断减小。其中紫外区类腐殖质A的荧光区域积分比例无显著变化; 可见区陆源类腐殖质B的荧光区域积分比例也不断减小, 表明陆源输入为沿海区域CDOM的主要来源; 而可见区海源类腐殖质C、类蛋白质荧光团M、N的荧光区域积分比例和叶绿素浓度不断升高, 显示了生物活动的贡献。从层次来看, 沿海CDOM的总累计积分为: 表层>底层>中层; 而外海CDOM的总累计积分呈相反趋势。其中, 紫外区类腐殖质A的荧光区域积分比例在整个海域最小, 垂直分布无明显变化; 可见区陆源类腐殖质B的荧光区域积分比例与沿海CDOM总累计积分相一致; 可见区海源类腐殖质C、类蛋白质M和N的荧光区域积分比例与外海CDOM总累计积分相一致, 这反映了CDOM的垂直分布是由光化学反应、生物作用和沉积物再悬浮共同控制的特性。  相似文献

北极孔斯峡湾表层沉积物中溶解有机质的来源与转化历史   总被引：7，自引：0，他引：7  
在北极地区孔斯峡湾采集28个表层沉积物样品,测定了其中水溶性有机质(也称溶解有机质,DOM)的分子量分布、紫外/可见吸收光谱和三维荧光光谱特征,并利用平行因子分析(PARAFAC)模型对DOM的荧光组分和来源进行了解析。结果表明:孔斯峡湾表层沉积物中有色溶解有机质(CDOM)及其中的荧光溶解有机质(FDOM)含量均从内湾向外湾方向呈逐渐累积的趋势,但CDOM中的FDOM所占比例逐渐减小,与DOM趋于老龄化密切相关。沉积作用减弱以及长期的光化学降解和微生物降解作用对此起主要贡献,并导致腐殖质和小分子组分在沉积物DOM中所占的比例呈逐渐递增的趋势。沉积物DOM包含陆源类腐殖质、自生源类腐殖质和类蛋白等三个荧光组分,但是其组成比例空间差异很大。吸收光谱斜率比(SR)随自生源所占百分比增加而减小,随DOM腐殖质组分中陆源与自生源的比值增加而增加;腐殖化指数(HIX)随类腐殖质与类蛋白质比值和水深的增加而增加,生物源指数(BIX)随自生源比例增加而增加。峡湾沉积物DOM的组成和来源存在着高度的空间差异,在冰川湾区由水体颗粒有机质(POM)的近期转化和迁移而来,而在峡湾中央及口门附近以较老的腐殖质为优势,主要源于水体DOM长期迁移和转化。研究表明,FDOM/CDOM,SR,HIX和BIX等构成的CDOM光谱指纹信息可以作为揭露沉积物溶解有机质来源及迁移转化历史的工具,对探索海洋与冰川相互作用影响下的峡湾环境演变有着重要意义。  相似文献

厦门湾沉积物间隙水中CDOM的荧光特性及其分布研究   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
研究了2003年4月从厦门湾九龙江口、西海域及同安湾采集的表层沉积物及柱状样间隙水中有色溶解有机物(CDOM)的荧光特性及其水平与垂直分布特征.结果表明,间隙水CDOM中均观测到类腐殖质与类色氨酸两类荧光.它们在表层沉积物间隙水中的相对含量均以九龙江口靠近浮宫红树林区的站位最高,同安湾及西海域养殖区各站位次之,分别反映了河口区红树林生态系以及养殖活动的影响;西海域靠近东渡码头的站位两类荧光的相对含量最低,系受疏浚活动影响所致.表层沉积物间隙水中两类荧光的相对含量均远高于底层水,暗示表层沉积物可成为上覆水体CDOM的一个重要来源.大多数站位间隙水中类腐殖质荧光的相对含量随深度增加而渐增,反映了CDOM在缺氧环境下的成岩作用过程.多数站位在3～6 cm深度处出现类色氨酸荧光峰值,随后递减,反映了近表层沉积物中细菌等微生物活动对蛋白质的降解作用.  相似文献

于2016年1—2月对黄渤海海域的有色溶解有机物(CDOM)进行了现场调查,通过分析CDOM的吸收和荧光特性,研究了CDOM在黄渤海的分布、荧光组分、来源。结果表明:CDOM吸收系数a(355)的水平变化范围为0.21~0.74m-1,呈现出近岸高、远岸低的分布趋势。光谱斜率比SR的水平分布总体呈现多源头、多中心的分布特征。a(355)在35°N断面总体呈现出近岸高、远岸低,表层低、底层高的分布。利用EEMs-PARAFAC对6种组分进行分析:C1(230/295)、C3(260/315)、C6(285(230)/335)为类蛋白质荧光组分,C2(295/485)、C4(305/380)、C5(345(270)/430)为类腐殖质荧光组分。荧光组分在渤海受陆源输入影响较大,水平分布上呈现出渤海的荧光平均值高于黄海的荧光平均值,且呈近岸高、远岸低的分布趋势。  相似文献

通过测定有色溶解有机物(CDOM)的吸收光谱、荧光光谱、溶解有机碳(DOC)浓度,探究了2014年夏季长江口CDOM的来源及河口混合行为。结合吸收系数a(355)、光谱斜率S275-295、比紫外吸光度SUVA254与盐度的关系,结果表明南港水道受黄浦江输入影响显著,北港水道由长江径流控制呈保守性混合行为,二者CDOM的物质结构性质较为相似。DOC的浓度可通过a(275)与a(295)模拟估算:ln[DOC]=4.94–0.87ln[a(275)]+0.90ln[a(295)],a(275)8.0 m–1;ln[DOC]=4.77–6.79ln[a(275)]+8.05ln[a(295)],a(275)≥8.0 m–1。模拟结果表明,在长江口及邻近海域,CDOM对DOC具有示踪意义。利用三维荧光光谱-平行因子分析(EEMs-PARAFAC)技术,可得到夏季长江口FDOM含有3个类腐殖质组分(C2,C4和C5)和3个类蛋白质组分(C1,C3和C6)。类腐殖质组分具有相似的来源及地球化学行为,且与a(355)及盐度存在显著相关性;类蛋白质组分则与a(355)及盐度之间无显著相关性,揭示其与区域内微生物的活动有关。  相似文献

In this study, the CDOM absorption coefficient at 350 nm [aCDOM(350)] and CDOM excitation emission matrix (EEM) fluorescence were used to estimate annual fluxes of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from the Cape Fear River to Long Bay in the South Atlantic Bight. Water samples were collected during a 3.5 year period, from October 2001 through March 2005, in the vicinity of the Cape Fear River (CFR) outlet and adjacent Onslow Bay (OB). Parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) of CDOM EEM spectra identified six components: three terrestrial humic-like, one marine humic-like and two protein-like. Empirical relationships were derived from the PARAFAC model between DOC concentration and aCDOM(350), total fluorescence intensity and the intensities of respective EEM components. DOC concentration and CDOM optical parameters were very well correlated and R2 values ranged from 0.77 to 0.90. Regression analyses revealed that the non-absorbing DOC fraction, in DOC concentration estimated from CDOM optical parameters, varied with the qualitative composition of the CDOM. DOC concentration and intensity of the humic-like CDOM components characterized by excitation maxima at longer wavelengths have significantly higher estimated non-absorbing DOC compared to the analogous relationships between DOC and intensity of the humic-like CDOM components characterized by excitation maxima at shorter wavelengths. The relationships between DOC concentration and intensity of one of the protein-like components resulted in significantly reduced non-absorbing DOC fraction in DOC concentration estimation. Results of regression analyses between fluorescence intensities of specific EEM components and CDOM-specific absorption coefficients suggest that the relative proportion of humic-like CDOM components (characterized by excitation maximum at longer wavelengths) and the main protein-like component have the most impact on the values of a?CDOM(350). Based on the relationships between aCDOM(350), Cape Fear River flow, and DOC concentrations, DOC fluxes were estimated for 2002, 2003 and 2004. DOC fluxes varied from 1.5 to 6.2 × 1010 g C yr? 1, depending on river flow.  相似文献

Systematic water sampling for characterization of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) in the coastal South Atlantic Bight, was conducted as part of the long term Coastal Ocean Research and Monitoring Program (CORMP). Water samples were collected during a 3.5 year period, from October 2001 until March 2005, in the vicinity of the Cape Fear River (CFR) outlet and in adjacent Onslow Bay (OB). During this study there were two divergent hydrological and meteorological conditions in the CFR drainage area: a severe drought in 2002, followed by the very wet year of 2003. CDOM was characterized optically by the absorption coefficient at 350 nm, the spectral slope coefficient (S), and by Excitation Emission Matrix (EEM) fluorescence. Parallel Factor Analysis (PARAFAC) was used to assess CDOM composition from EEM spectra and six components were identified: three terrestrial humic-like components, one marine humic-like component and two protein-like components. Terrestrial humic-like components contributed most to dissolved organic matter (DOM) fluorescence in the low salinity plume of the CFR. The contribution of terrestrial humic-like components to DOM fluorescence in OB was much smaller than in the CFR plume area. Protein-like components contributed significantly to DOM fluorescence in the coastal ocean of OB and they dominated DOM fluorescence in the Gulf Stream waters. Hydrological conditions during the observation period significantly impacted both concentration and composition of CDOM found in the estuary and coastal ocean. In the CFR plume, there was an order of magnitude difference in CDOM absorption and fluorescence intensity between samples collected during the drought compared to the wet period. During the drought, CDOM in the CFR plume was composed of equal proportions of terrestrial humic-like components (ca. 60% of the total fluorescence intensity) with a significant contribution of proteinaceous substances (ca. 20% of the total fluorescence). During high river flow, CDOM was composed mostly of humic substances (nearly 75% of total fluorescence) with minor contributions by proteinaceous substances. The impact of changes in fresh water discharge patterns on CDOM concentration and composition was also observed in OB, though to a lesser degree.  相似文献

The variability and origin of the Coloured Dissolved Organic Matter (CDOM) were studied in the Belgian coastal and adjacent areas including offshore waters and the Scheldt estuary, through the parameters: absorption at 375 nm, aCDOM(375), and the slope of the absorption curve, S. aCDOM(375) varied between 0.20 and 1.31 m−1 and between 0.97 and 4.30 m−1 in the marine area and Scheldt estuary, respectively. S fluctuated between 0.0101 and 0.0203 nm−1 in the marine area and between 0.0167 and 0.0191 nm−1 in the Scheldt estuary. The comparative analysis of aCDOM(375) and S variations evidenced different origins of CDOM in the BCZ. The Scheldt estuarine waters showed decreasing aCDOM(375) values with increasing salinity but constant S value of ∼0.018 nm−1 suggesting a dominant terrestrial origin of CDOM. On the contrary, samples collected in the marine domain showed a narrow range of aCDOM(375) but highly variable S suggesting the additional presence of autochthonous sources of CDOM. This source was evidenced based on the sorting of the marine offshore data according to the stage of the phytoplankton bloom when they were collected. A clear distinction was made between CDOM released during the growth stage characterized by high S (∼0.017 nm−1) and low aCDOM(375) and the decay phase characterized by low S (∼0.013 nm−1) and high aCDOM(375). This observation was supported by CDOM measurements performed on pure phytoplankton cultures which showed increased CDOM release along the wax and wane of the bloom but decreasing S. We concluded that the high variability of the CDOM signature in offshore waters is explained by the local biological production and processing of CDOM.  相似文献

Dissolved organic matter(DOM) from freshwater, mid-salinity, and seawater endmember samples in the Jiulong River Estuary, China were fractionated using cross-flow ultrafiltration with a 10-kDa membrane. The colloidal organic matter(COM; 10 kDa–0.22 μm) retentate, low molecular weight(LMW) DOM(10 kDa) permeate, and bulk samples were analyzed using absorption spectroscopy and three-dimensional fluorescence excitation-emission-matrix spectroscopy. The UV-visible spectra of COM were very similar to those obtained for permeate and bulk samples, decreasing monotonically with increasing wavelength. Most of the chromophoric DOM(CDOM, expressed as the absorption coefficient a355) occurred in the LMW fraction, while the percentage of CDOM in the colloidal fraction was substantially higher in the freshwater endmember(13.4% of the total) than in the seawater endmember(6.8%). The bulk CDOM showed a conservative mixing behavior in the estuary, while there was removal of the COM fraction and a concurrent addition of the permeate fraction in the mid-salinity sample, implying that part of the colloidal CDOM was transformed into LMW CDOM. Two humic-like components(C1: 250, 325/402 nm; and C2: 265, 360/458 nm) and one protein-like component(C3: 275/334 nm) were identified using parallel factor analysis. The contributions of the C1, C2, and C3 components of the COM fraction to the bulk sample were 2.5%–8.7%, 4.8%–12.6%, and 7.4%–14.7%, respectively, revealing that fluorescent DOM occurred mainly in the LMW fraction in the Jiulong River Estuary. The C1 and C2 components in the retentate and permeate samples showed conservative mixing behavior, but the intensity ratio of C2/C1 was higher in the retentate than in the permeate fractions for all salinity samples, showing that the humic component was more enriched in the COM than the fulvic component. The intensity ratio of C3/(C1+C2) was much higher in the retentate than in the permeate fraction for mid-salinity and seawater samples, revealing that the protein-like component was relatively more enriched in COM than the humic-like component. The contribution of the protein-like component(C3) to the total fluorescence in the retentate increased from 14% in the freshwater endmember to 72% for the seawater endmember samples, clearly indicating the variation of dominance by the humic-like component compared to the protein-like component during the estuarine mixing process of COM.  相似文献

The southern Changjiang River Estuary has attracted considerable attention from marine scientists because it is a highly biologically active area and is biogeochemically significant.Moreover,land-ocean interactions strongly impact the estuary,and harmful algal blooms(HABs) frequently occur in the area.In October 2010 and May 2011,water samples of chromophoric dissolved organic matter(CDOM) were collected from the southern Changjiang River Estuary.Parallel factor analysis(PARAFAC) was used to assess the samples' CDOM composition using excitation-emission matrix(EEM) spectroscopy.Four components were identified:three were humic-like(C1,C2 and C3) and one was protein-like(C4).Analysis based on spatial and seasonal distributions,as well as relationships with salinity,Chl a and apparent oxygen utilization(AOU),revealed that terrestrial inputs had the most significant effect on the three humic-like Components C1,C2 and C3 in autumn.In spring,microbial processes and phytoplankton blooms were also important factors that impacted the three components.The protein-like Component C4 had autochthonous and allochthonous origins and likely represented a biologically labile component.CDOM in the southern Changjiang River Estuary was mostly affected by terrestrial inputs.Microbial processes and phytoplankton blooms were also important sources of CDOM,especially in spring.The fluorescence intensities of the four components were significantly higher in spring than in autumn.On average,C1,C2,C3,C4 and the total fluorescence intensity(TFI) in the surface,middle and bottom layers increased by123%–242%,105%–195%,167%–665%,483%–567% and 184%–245% in spring than in autumn,respectively.This finding corresponded with a Chl a concentration that was 16–20 times higher in spring than in autumn and an AOU that was two to four times lower in spring than in autumn.The humification index(HIX) was lower in spring that in autumn,and the fluorescence index(FI) was higher in spring than in autumn.This result indicated that the CDOM was labile and the biological activity was intense in spring.  相似文献

Apparent oxygen utilization (AOU), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), coloured dissolved organic matter (CDOM) absorption spectra, and CDOM fluorescence characteristic of aromatic amino acids (excitation/emission 280 nm/320 nm; F(280/320)) and marine-humic like substances (320 nm/410 nm; F(320/410)) were measured in full depth during a cruise in the temperate Eastern North Atlantic (ENA). An optimum multi-parameter (OMP) inverse method was run to calculate water mass proportion-weighted average (archetypal) concentrations of these chemical parameters for all water masses and samples. Archetypal concentrations retain the variability due to water mass mixing and basin scale mineralization from the water mass formation sites to the study area. Conversely, the difference between measured and archetypal concentrations, retain the variability due to dissimilarities in mineralization processes within the study area. Our analysis indicates that DOC supported 26±3% of the AOU in the dark temperate ENA and that basin scale processes occurring at and from the formation area of the water masses explained 63% of the total DOC variability. Our data also suggests that DOC remineralized at the basin scale was of lower molecular weight, and with a lower proportion of fluorescent aromatic amino acids than found within the study area. The relationship between the absorption coefficient at 254 nm (aCDOM(254)) and AOU indicates that aCDOM(254) was consumed during organic matter remineralization in the dark ocean, with 55% of the variability being explained by basin scale processes. The relationships of F(320/410) with AOU and DOC confirmed that marine humic-like substances are produced by microbial degradation processes, at a rate of 6.1±0.9×10−3 mg equivalents of QS mol AOU−1. Our results also indicate that basin-scale remineralization processes account for 85% of the total variability of F(320/410), emphasizing that large scale processes control the formation of humic-like substance in the dark ENA.  相似文献

2011年夏季胶州湾表层溶解有机物荧光特征的时空变化   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  
利用三维荧光光谱技术(EEMs)结合平行因子分析(PARAFAC)的方法,对2011年8月至9月胶州湾表层海水溶解有机物荧光特征的时间与空间变化进行了研究。PARAFAC模型共鉴别出四个荧光组分:类蛋白质荧光组分(C1),陆源类腐殖质荧光组分(C2,C4)和海源类腐殖质荧光组分(C3)。类蛋白组分在调查期间的荧光强度最强(0.14±0.06),其余三个组分荧光强度相近(0.07±0.02,0.09±0.02,0.05±0.02)。这四种组分在8月下旬多雨期和9月上旬受径流影响的时期荧光强度较高,在9月下旬雨季影响消退后荧光强度显著降低。研究表明各组分荧光强度总体上与叶绿素a浓度显著正相关,与盐度负相关,说明胶州湾夏季FDOM浓度主要受降雨引发的生物活动影响。  相似文献

Light attenuation (Kd) of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) by chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM), total suspended solids (TSS) and chlorophyll a (Chl a) were measured at nine stations along an estuarine gradient in the Swan River, Western Australia, over 15 months. There were strong spatial gradients associated with the marine-freshwater transition along the 32 km of estuary sampled, as well as seasonal gradients mainly associated with rainfall, 80% of which occurs between May and September. CDOM absorbances at 440 nm reached a maximum of 10.9 m−1 with the freshwater inflow but concentrations of suspended matter remained low throughout the sampling period (1.0–21.0 mg l−1) under the diurnal tides of the estuary. CDOM was the dominant constituent of Kd and a stepwise multiple regression showed that 66% (p < 0.0001) of the variation in Kd can be explained by CDOM and an additional 8% (p < 0.0001) by TSS. As a consequence of this result, analysis into the influence of river discharge rates on CDOM absorbance levels was examined for 2002 using data collected during this study, and for 2000 and 2001 using historical dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and river discharge data. The outcome of this analysis infers that greater river discharge rates result in increased CDOM absorbances in the Swan River estuary.  相似文献
