Title: Carbon dioxide effects research and assessment program: workshop on oceanic CO2 standardization

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5302923

This workshop was called together for two purposes: first, to review the status of standardization of oceanic CO/sub 2/ measurements, the obtainable accuracy of presently used analytical methods, and developments towards better methods; and second, to discuss the GEOSECS (Geochemical Ocean Sections) program, which furnishes a coherent and very accurate set of data on chemical parameters in the world oceans including the CO/sub 2/ system. The report is divided into the following three sections: standards; new measurement systems; and GEOSECS data. Six of the eleven papers were abstracted and indexed individually for EDB/ERA. The other papers included information on standards for seawater, in determination of total CO/sub 2/, summary of the status of the GEOSECS CO/sub 2/ and alkalinity results, and the GEOSECS gas chromatographic CO/sub 2/ measurements.
