Abstract

This manual contains the presently known information about using the SOMMA (Single-Operator Multiparameter Metabolic Analyzer) -Coulometer system for total carbon dioxide (C{sub T}) analysis of seawater samples. Being Version 1.0, it is preliminary and will be revised as new information is obtained from SOMMA users. As part of a US Department of Energy (DOE) program to conduct a global survey of CO{sub 2} in the ocean in conjunction with the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) Hydrographic Program and Joint Global Ocean Flux Study, C{sub T} measurements are being made with SOMMA systems by several US and foreign laboratories. The purpose of the manual and future versions is to improve the accuracy and precision of seawater analysis through better documentation of methods and to facilitate communication of new operating procedures.
