Zusammenfassung |
The analysis of the shape of excitation-emission matrices (EEMs) is a
relevant tool for exploring the origin, transport and fate of dissolved
organic matter (DOM) in aquatic ecosystems. Within this context, the
decomposition of EEMs is acquiring a notable relevance. A simple
mathematical algorithm that automatically deconvolves individual EEMs is
described, creating new possibilities for the comparison of DOM fluorescence
properties and EEMs that are very different from each other. A mixture model
approach is adopted to decompose complex surfaces into sub-peaks. The
laplacian operator and the Nelder-Mead optimisation algorithm are
implemented to individuate and automatically locate potential peaks in the
EEM landscape. The EEMs of a simple artificial mixture of fluorophores and
DOM samples collected in a Mediterranean river are used to describe the
model application and to illustrate a strategy that optimises the search for
the optimal output. |
