各国政府和科学家对海洋二氧化碳相关变量指标的需求正在增加。我们描述了最近的一个项目，Carbon-OPS，在该项目期间，开发了一个“供应链”，用于自动测量海洋表面的PCO(2)、数据处理及其在为研究和政策制定提供信息方面的使用。数据是由新的PCO(2)测量系统在南大洋、大西洋和欧洲西北部大陆架海的五艘英国考察船上收集的。这些机构通过卫星通信系统将数据近乎实时地发送到英国海洋数据中心，在那里对数据进行自动处理、质量控制和存档。然后，这些数据被提交给英国气象局和其他机构，用于测试来自业务海洋模型的预测。这些模型将生成指标产品，并通过海洋气候变化影响伙伴关系协助政府，该伙伴关系由科学家、政府、其机构和非政府组织组成，提供有关海洋二氧化碳吸收、海洋pH变化以及对全球气候和海洋生态系统的潜在影响的信息。
Demand by governments and scientists is increasing for indicators of CO2-related variables for the ocean. We describe a recent project, CARBON-OPS, during which a "supply chain" was developed for automated measurement of pCO(2) in the surface of the ocean, data processing, and its use in providing information for research and policy development. Data are gathered by new pCO(2) measurement systems on five UK research ships in the Southern Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, and northwestern European shelf seas. These send data in near-real-time, via satellite communication systems, to the British Oceanographic Data Centre, where they are automatically processed, quality controlled, and archived. The data are then delivered to the UK Met Office and others for use in testing predictions from operational ocean models. These models will generate indicator products and assist government through the Marine Climate Change Impact Partnership, a partnership of scientists, government, its agencies, and NGOs, by providing information on ocean CO2 uptake, changes in ocean pH, and potential impacts on global climate and marine ecosystems.
