Alkalinity was determined by potentiometric titration in an open cell with a difference derivative readout (Hernandez-Ayon et al., Ann. Chem. Acta, 1999). The average precision was ±2.0 μmol kg-1 (n = 86 duplicate samples) and the accuracy was checked daily by the titration of certified reference seawater (n = 59, CRM batch 146).

The analytical precision was estimated to be ± 0.002 pH units, determined by the triplicate analysis of samples, accuracy was monitored by the use of stabilized SW certified for alkalinity and dissolved inorganic carbon.
