The Graduates School of Oceanography at the University of Rhode Island will further develop an automated coulometric detection processor for shipboard use. This Single-Operator Multiparameter Metabolic Analyzer (SOMMA), will allow the simultaneous processing of several key metabolic parameters in seawater. These measurements, obtained from a single sample, include total carbon dioxide, oxygen, carbon-14, pH, alkalinity, and various derivative data. A microprocessor will control SOMMA's operation, perform statistical analyses, and store resulting data. It will be designed to work with a variety of existing, interchangeable chemical detectors. Improvements in making rapid, accurate, and efficient measurements of chemical parameters in aquatic samples will benefit many chemical, ecological, and microbiological studies. Being able to make these measurements onboard research vessels when samples are fresh is a further benefit and minimizes possible chemical degradation from having to store and transport samples ashore for analysis. //

罗德岛大学海洋学研究生院将进一步开发一种供船上使用的自动库仑检测处理器。 这种单操作员多参数代谢分析仪 (SOMMA) 将允许同时处理海水中的几个关键代谢参数。 这些测量值从单个样品中获得，包括总二氧化碳、氧气、碳 14、pH 值、碱度和各种衍生数据。 微处理器将控制 SOMMA 的操作、执行统计分析并存储结果数据。 它将设计为与各种现有的、可互换的化学探测器配合使用。 水生样品中化学参数快速、准确和高效测量的改进将有利于许多化学、生态和微生物研究。 能够在样品新鲜时在研究船上进行这些测量是一个进一步的好处，并且可以最大限度地减少因必须在岸上存储和运输样品进行分析而可能发生的化学降解。 //
