The Quality Control of Oceanic CO2 Measurements: Preparation and Distribution of Reference Materials.

在这个项目中，斯克里普斯海洋研究所的科学家们将继续生产和分发一种标准参考材料，用于海洋二氧化碳测量的质量控制，特别是那些作为国际全球计划一部分的测量。 这将有助于确保这种测量虽然是在不同的实验室在不同的时间进行的，但具有可比性和准确性;这将是设计全球海洋观测系统的一个重要因素。 为了实现这一目标，斯克里普斯实验室将准备标准材料（海水），并对海洋二氧化碳系统的以下参数进行认证：总溶解无机碳、总碱度、氢离子浓度、pH值和海水样品的d13 C。 这些参考材料将分发给美国和国际调查人员，以协助海洋CO2测量的质量控制。它们还将用于提供供用于确定这些不同参数的分析方法的合作研究的试验样品。 作为这项工作的一部分，科学小组计划组织各种此类合作研究，并将与各调查人员合作，确保将所取得的经验记录在报告和书面方法中，并广为传播。 该项目的一个重要部分涉及对未来的规划。必须确保为今后的海洋科学研究长期提供参考材料，必须确定一个机构或公司来承担这一责任。 为了鼓励这一点，调查人员建议与美国国家标准与技术研究所、国际海洋科学组织（IAPSO标准海水服务）和日本的各种调查人员进行互动，以评估和建议未来的计划。

ABSTRACTOCE-0137287In this project, scientists at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography will continue to produce and distribute a standard reference material for the quality control of oceanic carbon dioxide measurements, in particular those that are made as part of international global programs. This will help to ensure that such measurements are comparable and accurate although made in different laboratories at different times; and will be an important factor in the design of a Global Ocean Observing System. To achieve this, the Scripps laboratory will prepare standard materials (seawater) and certify them for the following parameters of the oceanic carbon dioxide system: total dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, hydrogen ion concentration, pH, and d13 C for a sample of sea water. These reference materials will be distributed to US and international investigators to assist in the quality control of oceanic CO2 measurements. They will also be used to provide test samples for use in collaborative studies of the analytical methods that are used to determine these various parameters. As part of this work, the scientific team plans to organize various such collaborative studies and will collaborate with the various investigators to ensure that the experience gained is documented in reports and in written methods that are widely disseminated. An important part of the project involves planning for the future. It is essential to assure a long- term supply of reference materials for future ocean science research, and it will be necessary to identify an agency or company that will take on this responsibility. To encourage this, the investigators propose to interact with the U.S. National Institute for Standards and Technology, as well as with Ocean Scientific International (the IAPSO Standard Sea Water Service) and with various Japanese investigators to assess and recommend a plan for the future.
