The Quality Control of Oceanic Carbon Dioxide Measurements

本提案描述了准备和认证所需的研究 测量质量控制用标准物质 海洋二氧化碳系统的参数。 这样的参考 材料是必不可少的，以确保充分的质量控制， 作为JGOFS研究的一部分计划进行的测量。 参考 提出的材料包括海洋的所有四个参数 CO2系统：总溶解无机碳、总碱度、pH 以及CO2与水样平衡时的逸度。 提出的额外工作与获得的最终目标相关 各种不同的可比较和准确的测量 在JGOFS期间。 特别是， 各种方法，以便开发可靠的经过良好测试的程序 将组织和报告海上使用。

This proposal describes research required to prepare and certify reference materials for the quality control of measurements of the parameters of the oceanic carbon dioxide system. Such reference materials are essential to ensure adequate quality control of the measurements planned as part of the JGOFS studies. The reference materials proposed encompass all the four parameters of the oceanic CO2 system: total dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, pH and the fugacity of CO2 in equilibrium with a water sample. Additional work proposed is relevant to the final goal of obtaining comparable and accurate measurements by a variety of different times during JGOFS. In particular, collaborative studies of the various methods, so as to develop reliable well-tested procedures for sea-going use will be organized and reported on.
