Metrology reference and standard materials

Aim to develop existing centres of gravity to advance common

metrology for measurement of priority Essential Ocean

Variables.

Tasked with developing the necessary metrology infrastructure

and dissemination of best practice.

Engagement with community through a series of workshops:

• Metrology and uncertainty (2016)

• Oxygen, pH and carbon dioxide (2018)

• Nutrient and fluorescence sensors (2018)

• Carbonate chemistry sensors (2019)

Metrology reference and standard materials

Shipboard filtration of surface water in

the Western Pacific Ocean

1) Reservoir

2) Peristaltic pump

3) Filter and sterile multi-use cartridge

4) Collecting vessels

Over 550 surface

and a further 550

deep water samples

for trace metal

analysis.

Collected using trace

metal clean

conditions.

Emerging Networks Roadmap

• Roadmap focussed on identifying gaps where EOVs are not

currently addressed. Particularly for:

- Biogeochemical

- Biology observing systems and

- Industrial applications

• Roadmap relates each emerging network to observing

platforms, their maturity what key features are required to

secure the long term future of each network.

Organised

community (Y/N)

Yes Yes, in development

through EGO and

GROOM, see below

Partly through EMSO, RAPID

& PIRATA

Yes through the Joint

WMO/IOC Technical

Commission for

Oceanography and Marine

Meteorology (JCOMM)

through the VOS Panel. The

SOOP programme is a key

part of the ICOS network for

carbon system measurements

Principal outputs

• Freely available resources to the community– Sensors and Instrumentation/Emerging Network Roadmaps

– Trace metal consensus material

– Metrology Best Practice

• Development of eight separate technologies

through multiple TRLs

• Engagement with the community through

regular workshops, publications and best

practice manuals
