An autonomous instrument for time series analysis of TCO2 from oceanographic moorings

Abstract: Keywords: Seawater carbon dioxide; Robotic CO2 analysis; Conductimetric CO2analysis. AbstractThe design and testing of a robotic analyzer for autonomous TCO 2 measurement from oceanographic moorings is described. The analyzer employs a conductimetric method of TCO 2 measurement wherein CO 2 from an acidified sample diffuses across a semi-permeable membrane into a NaOH solution decreasing the conductivity of the base. The instrument is capable of ~850 analyses over a period of at least six months. It is designe… Show more

“…For facile use of CRMs in situ, there is a vital need to extend Andrew Dickson's CRM program whereby CRMs are distributed in durable, gasimpermeable bags suitable for deployment in situ. The authors of [14] have shown that DIC levels are stable for long periods when CRMs are stored in polyethylenecoated aluminum bags (Fig. 2).…”

“…Exceptional analytical performance is required for these measurements (<0.1% precision and accuracy), and the shipboard techniques that have achieved this have done so through complex automated fluidic designs with frequent calibrations. Some groups have built prototype sensors for DIC [12,14] and AT [15] by using simplified detection methods. These systems are the most promising near-term prospects for full CO2 system characterization; however, they all require moving parts in the form of pumps and valves.…”

“…As an alternative to the use of pH and fCO 2 as paired parameters, in situ measurements of DIC or A T can be used to provide compatible analytical pairs: DIC plus either pH or fCO 2 , and A T plus either pH or fCO 2 . Consequently, efforts are currently being devoted to measure an expanded set of in situ parameters (Choi et al 2002;Martz et al 2006;Byrne and Yao 2008;Sayles and Eck 2009).…”
