|        | River runoff of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) |           |
|        | into the oceans is significant and can play a  |           |
|        | very important role in the global carbon cycle |           |
|        | since the carbon reservoir of DOC in the ocean |           |
|        | is comparable to carbon dioxide \[CO2\] in the |           |
|        | atmosphere. A fraction of DOC Chromophoric     |           |
|        | Dissolved Organic Matter (CDOM) is capable of  |           |
|        | absorbing visible and ultraviolet light and    |           |
|        | can be detected by ocean color satellite       |           |
|        | sensors. Various investigators have reported a |           |
|        | relationship between DOC concentrations and    |           |
|        | absorption by CDOM, but the parameterization   |           |
|        | of this relationship appears to vary           |           |
|        | regionally and seasonally due to               |           |
|        | photochemistry.                                |           |
|        |                                                |           |
|        | Translation? Carbon from dead plants and       |           |
|        | animals that enters the ocean from river       |           |
|        | runoff may play just as important a role in    |           |
|        | the Earth's climate as CO2 in the atmosphere.  |           |
|        | Scientists may be able to measure how much of  |           |
|        | this type of carbon is entering the ocean      |           |
|        | through satellite sensors of the ocean's       |           |
|        | color. They have found, however, that using    |           |
|        | such a system will depend on better            |           |
|        | understanding of how the sun's light interacts |           |
|        | with the ocean's chemistry. (or something like |           |
|        | that?)                                         |           |

|        | "[While it is true that the piece is           |           |
|        | opinion,]{.mark} it fits previously            |           |

|        | verified without new measurements, and NASA is |           |

|        | Q: So this article in Science was an opinion   |           |
|        | piece? Should be stated clearly at the start   |           |
|        | of the press release.                          |           |

|        | Does NASA ever update its press kits with      |           |
|        | information about what results these missions  |           |

|        | Just noticed that the most recent press kit is |           |
|        | 2003. I take it you've stopped producing press |           |
|        | kits and everything is now on the web as HTML? |           |
|        | If so, seems like an explanation should be     |           |

|        | NASA press officers did they regularly deal    |           |

|        | were interview requests with scientists        |           |
|        | handled promptly, did NASA PIO sit in on       |           |
