To better understand the main factors affecting the relationship between the DOC and the CDOM when the Changjiang diluted water (CDW) interacts with the marine currents on the wide continental shelf, we measured the DOC concentration, the absorption, and the fluorescence spectra of the CDOM along the main axis and the northern boundary of the CDW. The sources of DOC and their impacts on the relationship between the optical properties of the DOC and CDOM are discussed. We reached the following conclusions: There are strong positive correlations between the absorptive and fluorescent properties of the DOC and the CDOM as a whole. The dilution of the terrestrial DOC carried by the CDW through mixing with saline sea water is the dominant mechanism controlling the characteristics of the optical properties of the CDOM. CDOM optical properties can be adopted to establish inversion models in retrieving DOC in Changjiang River Estuary. It is concluded that the introduction of extra DOC from different sources is the main factor causing the regional optical complexity leading to the bias of DOC estimation rather than removal mechanism. As whole, the input of polluted water from Huangpujiang River with abnormally high a(355) and Fs(355) will induce the overestimation of DOC. In the main axis of CDW, the impact from autochthonous DOC input to the correlation between DOC and CDOM can be neglected in comparison with conservative dilution procedure. The relationship between the DOC and the CDOM on the northern boundary of the CDW is more complicated, which can be attributed to the continuous input of terrestrial material from the Old Huanghe Delta by the Subei Coastal Current, the input of materials from the Yellow sea by the Yellow Sea Warm Western Coastal Current, and the input of materials from the Changjiang Basin by the CDW. The results of this study suggest that long-term observations of the regional variations in the DOM inputs from multiple sources in the interior of the CDW are essential, which is conducive to assess the degree of impact to the DOC estimation through the CDOM in the East China Sea.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21248450","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,20]],"date-time":"2021-12-20T02:40:32Z","timestamp":1639968032000},"page":"8450","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Dissolved Organic Carbon Source Attribution in the Changjiang Outflow Region of the East China Sea"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Xiaoyu","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Earth Sciences, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310027, China"},{"name":"Ocean Academy, Zhejiang University, Zhoushan 316000, China"},{"name":"Hainan Institute, Zhejiang University, Sanya 572000, China"}]},{"given":"Yong","family":"Du","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jiyang College, Zhejiang A&F University, Zhuji 311800, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0066-1808","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhihua","family":"Mao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Satellite Ocean Environment Dynamics, Second Institute of Oceanography, Ministry of National Resources, Hangzhou 310012, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1996-880X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lei","family":"Bi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Earth Sciences, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310027, China"}]},{"given":"Jianyu","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Satellite Ocean Environment Dynamics, Second Institute of Oceanography, Ministry of National Resources, Hangzhou 310012, China"}]},{"given":"Haiyan","family":"Jin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Marine Ecosystem and Biogeochemistry, The Second Institute of Oceanography, Ministry of National Resources, Hangzhou 310012, China"}]},{"given":"Shuchang","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Earth Sciences, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310027, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"367","article-title":"Global patterns and sources of dissolved organic matter export to the coastal zone: Results from a spatially explicit, global model","volume":"19","author":"John","year":"2005","journal-title":"Glob.
