  abstract = {{D}issolved aliphatic hydrocarbons ({AH}s) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons ({PAH}s) were analysed from surface water collected in continental, harbour and off-shore marine sites from {M}arseilles coastal area ({N}orthwestern {M}editerranean {S}ea) from {F}ebruary 2011 to {F}ebruary 2012. {AH} and {PAH} concentrations were in the range of 0.04-0.53 mu g 1(-1) and 8.1-405 ng 1(-1), respectively. {T}hey both displayed seasonal and spatial variations in their concentrations and molecular composition. {T}he lowest {AH} concentrations were found in summer and the highest {PAH} concentrations in winter. {B}oth natural and anthropogenic (pyrogenic and petrogenic) hydrocarbon sources were identified. {I}n winter, concentrations and composition patterns highlighted an increase in the signature of unburned and combusted fossil fuels, while they suggested an enhancement of weathering processes in summer months. {H}ydrocarbon inputs to the dissolved phase seemed to originate mainly from the atmosphere and the {R}hone {R}iver. {H}ydrocarbon additional sources were identified only at the harbour site, emphasising the intense shipping traffic and industrial activities occurring in one of the most important {M}editerranean harbours. {T}his study underscores the strong dynamics of dissolved hydrocarbons and the uncoupling of the sources, transport and removing processes affecting {AH}s and {PAH}s. {I}t also demonstrates the pertinence of taking this dynamics into account for the budget assessments of organic pollutants in coastal environments.},
