Colloid Intercomparison Exercise

将进行胶体的相互比较，测试用于分离海洋胶体物质的多个采样系统。这项工作的主要目标是确定正在收集的胶体物质在目前海洋学中使用的不同过滤设备中是否在化学上相似。认为有必要对富含颗粒/胶体、高DOC的沿海地点和低胶体、低DOC末端成员进行采样，以比较每个采样系统之间的操作差异。将特别注意内部空白和吸收损失，以及操作条件差异可能产生的人工制品。

An inter-comparison exercise, the colloid will be conducted, wherein multiple sampling systems for separating marine colloidal matter are tested. The primary goal of this exercise is to determine if the colloidal material being collected is chemically similar amongst the different filtration devices which are presently used in oceanography. It is deemed necessary to sample both a particle/colloid rich, high DOC coastal site and a low colloid and low DOC end member to compare the operational differences amongst each sampling system. Particular attention will be paid to internal blanks and sorptive losses, as well as artifacts which can arise from differences in operating conditions.
