Improved comparability of nutrient concentrations in seawater is required to enhance the
quality and utility of measurements reported to global databases. Significant progress
has been made over recent decades in improving the analysis and data quality for
traditional laboratory measurements of nutrients. Similar efforts are required to establish
high-quality data outputs from in situ nutrient sensors, which are rapidly becoming
integral components of ocean observing systems. This paper suggests using the good
practices routine established for laboratory reference methods to propose a harmonized
set of deployment protocols and of quality control procedures for nutrient measurements
obtained from in situ sensors. These procedures are intended to establish a framework
to standardize the technical and analytical controls carried out on the three main types
of in situ nutrient sensors currently available (wet chemical analyzers, ultraviolet optical
sensors, electrochemical senso.....
