Abstract
Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) plays an important role in the ecology and carbon cycle in the ocean. Analytical problems with concentration and isotope ratio measurements have hindered its study. We have constr ucted a new analytical method based on supercritical oxidation for the determination of (13)delta and (14)Delta of DOC. Initial results from the North Sea show that a large fraction of DOC is refractive and no proof for terrestrial influence.
