Short summary
Chromophoric dissolved organic matter dynamics (CDOM) in the sea surface microlayer (SML) and underlying water were examined at a coastal site. The SML was enriched in dissolved organic carbon (DOC), CDOM and fluorescent dissolved organic matter (FDOM). Optical indices and FDOM/CDOM index showed wavelength-dependent enrichment and decoupling of CDOM-FDOM, suggesting that photodegradation, biological processes and atmospheric inputs shape DOC pool beyond simple upward flux from underlying waters.
