Carbon sink monitoring equipment
DWT pCO2 automatic systems are comprised of sampling hardware, an analysis system, and a data logging/web site transmission system.
[if !supportLists]· [endif]The sampling hardware consists of:
[if !supportLists]· [endif]a seawater pump supply line, which may be mounted on a sampling platform up the lagoon water level
[if !supportLists]· [endif]a drain for disposing of sampled sea water
[if !supportLists]· [endif]a atmospheric air supply line
[if !supportLists]· [endif]data collection instrumentation to measure temperature, ORP and conductibility
[if !supportLists]· [endif]GPS position, time, depth of intake (tide) , and barometric pressure (opt)
[if !supportLists]· [endif]data collection instrumentation to check water chlorophyll , P.I.C. ( Particulate Inorganic Carbon ) , P.O.C. ( Particulate Organic Carbon ) and P.A.R. ( Photosynthetic Active Radiation ) .
