But the reproducibility of the measurements of duplicate samples (n=10, root mean square deviation is 3.92 μmol kg-1) is not as good as the lab result. This may mainly be due to the fact that these duplicate samplings were taken when the ship's speed was ~13.5 knot.; Standardization description: In order to standardize the results, Certified Reference Materials (CRM) from A.G. Dickson, Scripps Institution of Oceanography were analysed as standards to calibrate the instrument at the beginning and end of each day of analysis. A daily correction factor was applied to all measured values according to Millero et al. (1998).; CRM batch number: 90 91 93 97 99 105 109 Parameter or Variable: Total alkalinity; Abbreviation: TA; Observation type: discrete; In-situ / Manipulation / Response variable: in-situ observation; Measured or calculated: Measured; Type of titration: Titration with HCl (~0.10 mol/L) uses a closed cell procedure with an open cell, with a pH half cell electrode (glass bodied Orion 8101SC, Ross, USA) and an Ag/AgCl reference electrode (model 6.0729.100, Metrohm, Switzerland).; Cell type (open or closed): open cell; Curve fitting method: Non-linear curve fitting (least-squares) approach (Dickson et al., 2007); Uncertainty: Repeated measurements on the same batch of seawater (n>=3) were undertaken every day prior to sample analysis in order to assess the precision of the method. The precision was estimated for the whole dataset to be 2.0±0.7 μmol kg-1 for DIC and 1.2±0.5 μmol kg-1 for TA. The accuracy of the measurement is assured by the standardization using the CRM from A.G. Dickson, Scripps Institution of Oceanography on daily basis.; Method reference: Dickson, A. G., C. L.
