Chromophoric and colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) is the opitically
active components of bulk dissolved organic matter (DOM) composing of a complex mixture of organic compounds of both allochthonous and autochthonous origin, which absorb light at both ultraviolet (UV) and visible wavelengths (Bricaud
