Figure 15. Principal components analysis of particulate organic matter in water samples from the Lynch Cove, western Washington, September 2004.
The analysis uses water-column concentrations of particulate organic carbon and chlorophyll a and the δ13C and C:N ratio of the particulate organic matter to derive the principal component axes. The eigenvectors of the analysis are listed in table 15 (at back of report).
