Monitoring the chromophoric or colored fraction of dissolved organic matter (CDOM/FDOM) in natural waters can be an extremely useful tool in a variety of marine and freshwater applications. Scientists have developed numerous methods for measuring or estimating DOM concentration for a variety of biological, chemical and physical research and monitoring topics. Fluorescence detection of CDOM/FDOM is the easiest and fastest means of estimating DOM by taking advantage of CDOM/FDOM's natural fluorescent property of absorbing UV light and fluorescing blue light. CDOM/FDOM measurement is also of interest to researchers due to its effect on light in surface waters and as a natural water mass tracer.
