Abstract
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy arguably provides the greatest insight into the overall chemical composition of dissolved organic matter (DOM). However, in a standard 5 mm NMR probe, a sample of sea water at natural abundance only contains ca. 500-600 ng of organic matter, distributed among the heterogeneous components of DOM. Additionally, the intensity of the water signal, which may be many orders of magnitude greater than the signals from DOM, makes the detection and analysis of DOM at natural abundance extremely demanding. Here, we demonstrate, that although challenging, the application of an improved water suppression technique allows NMR spectra of DOM to be obtained directly (i.e without pre-concentration) for major bodies of water, including rivers, lakes and the ocean. The technique described here provides a compositional overview of an intact sample, permitting researchers to investigate and assess the impact of concentration, isolation and extraction procedures that are employed routinely. Also the technique permits NMR to be performed on 'precious' samples for which traditional isolations are not possible, for example, water from ice cores and pore water, which are key in hydrology and for paleoclimatic reconstruction.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
