Fig. 2

PCA of the chemical profile of chemically dispersed Grane and Troll oil incubated with seawater at 5 °C and 13 °C. Each flask is represented as either a circle (Grane oil) or a triangle (Troll oil), and each symbol represents the composition of 57 individual targeted compounds normalized to hopane at that specific time point. Modelled data are present in the figure alongside experimental data to statically analyse the complete data set. Red symbols indicate an incubation temperature of 5 °C and blue symbols indicate an incubation temperature of 13 °C. 83.6 and 8.3% of variations are explained with PC1 and PC2, respectively
