Hourly measurements of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) and estimated dissolved organ...EnvironmentDissolved organic carbon (DOC) is a general description of the organic material dissolved in water. Organic carbon occurs as the result of decomposition of plant or animal material. Organic carbon present in soil or water bodies may then dissolve when contacted by water. This...
