WHOI dock testing of a total Dissolved Inorganic Carbon (DIC) and pH sensor package. It measures seawater pH and DIC concurrently based on spectrophotometric principles. Because of this concurrent measurement strategy, it can fully characterize the seawater CO2 system with one instrument. The sensor was designed for buoy deployment. It is particularly useful for carbon cycle and ocean acidification studies.
Image Of the Day caption:
Marine chemist Zhaohui "Aleck" Wang recently tested an instrument he developed in collaboration with WHOI engineers for his research on ocean acidification and the carbon cycle. This all-in-one sensor package simultaneously measures pH and dissolved inorganic carbon, which can paint a complete picture of carbon dioxide cycling in and through a local volume of seawater. Wang designed the instrument to be deployed on a buoy for up to three months at a time and can control the sensor as well as stream data in real-time through Ethernet. He plans to deploy it in 2014 at the Martha's Vineyard Coastal Observatory.
