The Carbon Dioxide System in Sea Water: The Certification of Standard Reference Materials for The Quality Control of Oceanic Measurements

将开展一项研究项目，要求对海水中二氧化碳测量的标准参考物质进行认证。为了确保作为全球海洋通量研究（GOFS）和世界海洋环流实验（WOCE）的一部分计划进行的二氧化碳测量的充分质量控制，需要这种标准。这些标准主要是规定溶解的总无机碳和总碱度，但也包括二氧化碳和ph的平衡分压。特别强调使用适当的主要标准来控制各种实验室程序，并证明各种测量结果与海水中酸碱过程的化学模型是一致的。这种方法将有助于确保用于认证此类标准参考物质的测量的准确性和精密度。

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.
