一个研究项目，需要认证标准参考 用于海水中二氧化碳测量的材料将 进行。 需要这些标准来确保充分的质量控制 作为全球气候变化框架公约的一部分， 海洋通量研究（GOFS）和世界海洋环流实验 （WOCE）。 这些标准主要是规定总溶解量 无机碳和总碱度，但也包括 CO2和pH的平衡分压。 使用适当的一级标准品来控制 各种实验室程序，并证明各种 测量结果与酸碱化学模型一致 海水中的过程。 这种方法将有助于确保准确性 以及用于证明这种测量的精度 标准参考物质。

A program at research that is required to certify standard reference materials for carbon dioxide measurements in sea water will be conducted. Such standards are needed to ensure adequate quality control of the measurements of carbon dioxide planned as part of the Global Ocean Flux Study (GOFS), and of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE). The standards are primarily to prescribe total dissolved inorganic carbon and total alkalinity, but also encompass the equilibrium partial pressure of CO2 and pH. Particular stress will be placed on the use of appropriate primary standards to control the various laboratory procedures, and on demonstrating that the various measurements are consistent with a model for the chemistry of acidbase processes in sea water. This approach will help to ensure the accuracy as well as the precision of the measurements used to certify such standard reference materials.
