Sub-micron particles in northwest Atlantic shelf water

Abstract:

The existence of numerous (1.0 × 107 ml−1) sub-micron particles has been confirmed in northwest Atlantic shelf water. These particles were counted independently by two different resistive-pulse instruments, and their existence confirmed by our ability to reduce their numbers by ultracentrifugation, serial dilution and surface coagulation in a bubbling column. There are important implications for the dynamics of DOM in seawater if, as seems probable, these particles represent a fraction of “dissolved” organic material in seawater.
