Over years, discrete water samples have frequently been collected from the station and these are used to compare with sensor pCO2 measurements from the station.
2022 March and June: Two experiments have been performed in Gotland, where the pCO2 sensor has been deployed in a tank filled with Baltic water. Discrete water samples were also collected from the tank, and these were compared with the tank sensor pCO2. Due to high natural variability at this coastal location, we have not yet been able to achieve satisfactorily results from these comparisons, which has delayed the labelling severely. A batch of disctrete water samples collected by Svea is analysed and validated, but still not able to get satisfactorily results.
2024 April: A newly built validation system for pCO2 (built by ICOS OTC) was run close to the stations pCO2 sensor. The outcome from this validatin test was ready in October.
2024 October: Comparison between the station CO2 and the data from the ICOS OTC validation system is ongoing.
