Short summary
We conducted a shipboard observation over the Chukchi Sea and the Canada Basin in the western Arctic Ocean to obtain vertical distributions of four volatile organic iodine compounds (VOIs) in seawater. High concentrations of four VOIs were found in the bottom layer water over the Chukchi Sea shelf, in which layer the concentration maximum of ammonium occurred simultaneously. We considered that the VOI production is associated with degradation of organic matter in the bottom sediment.
