Abstract

Understanding the dynamics of marine dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is essential for predicting its role in carbon cycling and its response to climate change. Here, we unveil molecular transformations of marine chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) across the global ocean using Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. Significant variability in CDOM composition within the epi- and mesopelagic layers (
