Discrepancies found in results from different laboratories probably stem from the lack of a written standard operating procedure and of certified reference materials for total dissolved inorganic carbon in sea water.
Important concerns are the reliability of model results, and the spatial density of predictions.
Contact RFF, addr. Uses eight methods that differ in structure and data requirements, together with data from five sites. The methods differ in predictions even without climate change, and in their sensitivities to temperature and other climatic inputs such as humidity, windiness and sunshine.
