WP2.1 Observing systems: Intercomparison of biogeochemical sensors
Fundamental to integration of observing systems is an understanding of the current and future requirements of sensors to measure biogeochemical processes, particularly for sustained autonomous data recording.
Long term unattended operation of sensors is challenging for current biogeochemical sensor technology. This report gives an overview of the current state of the art in biogeochemical sensing. It reviews user experience of deployed systems and efforts made to provide quality assessment and control. Recommendations are made regarding what sensors should and should not be used in the immediate future for Eulerian observatories. Promising emerging technologies are summarised, and detailed methodological practices that should lead to improved technology and scientific data are outlined. Finally additional recommendations are made for raising the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of biogeochemical sensor technology for this application.
