To elucidate the changes in the molecular weight distribution of DOM as the salt background increases, the authors performed laboratory experiments in which we used ash-free humic acid (HA) and fulvic acid (FA) preparations ...
The distribution of the macrocomponents of sea water is governed primarily by salinity. But several investigators have found a variation in the cation-chloride ratios, ranging from 1 to several percent (see, e.g., [1-8]). ...
