回顾的目的，我们总结了最近的进展自主观测海洋碳酸盐化学和发展的传感器网络，能够观察碳酸盐过程在多个时间和空间scales.Recent Findings多功能pH传感器的发展，适用于部署在自主车辆和紧凑，固定的生态系统观测站一直是该领域的一个重大发展。在南大洋配备这些新的pH传感器的剖面浮标的初步大规模部署已经证明了全球自主开放海洋碳酸盐观测系统的可行性。概要我们正在开发的自主碳酸盐观测网络目前针对表层海洋CO2通量和紧凑的生态系统观测站。滑翔机和水面飞行器上新安装的传感器将提高我们的沿海和区域观测能力。大多数自主平台观测单一碳酸盐参数，这使得我们依赖于使用经验关系来约束碳酸盐系统的其余部分。目前正在开发的传感器承诺在不久的将来能够从一系列车辆中观察多个碳酸盐系统参数。
Purpose of Review We summarize recent progress on autonomous observations of ocean carbonate chemistry and the development of a network of sensors capable of observing carbonate processes at multiple temporal and spatial scales.Recent Findings The development of versatile pH sensors suitable for both deployment on autonomous vehicles and in compact, fixed ecosystem observatories has been a major development in the field. The initial large-scale deployment of profiling floats equipped with these new pH sensors in the Southern Ocean has demonstrated the feasibility of a global autonomous open-ocean carbonate observing system.Summary Our developing network of autonomous carbonate observations is currently targeted at surface ocean CO2 fluxes and compact ecosystem observatories. New integration of developed sensors on gliders and surface vehicles will increase our coastal and regional observational capability. Most autonomous platforms observe a single carbonate parameter, which leaves us reliant on the use of empirical relationships to constrain the rest of the carbonate system. Sensors now in development promise the ability to observe multiple carbonate system parameters from a range of vehicles in the near future.
