Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of ocean observation, and in particular relates to a field calibration method for an ocean biochemical sensor. Background Art

[0002] Marine biochemical sensors are a vital component of modern ocean observation and detection technology. Marine biochemical sensors must undergo long-term sea trials before they can be put into use. On-site calibration is the only technical means to quantitatively evaluate the sea trial effect of sensors. Compared with the development of marine biochemical sensors abroad, my country's marine biochemical sensor research and development process is seriously lacking in strict sea trial verification and on-site calibration.

[0003] In this regard, Chinese Patent 202120842599.9 discloses a field calibration device for a marine chlorophyll sensor, including a terminal control computer, a deck unit, a refrigeration control unit, an outer tank body of a calibration tank, an inner tank body of a calibration tank, a heater, a rapid cooling coil, a magnetic stirrer, a magnetic stirrer, a humidity sensor, a chlorophyll sensor, a temperature sensor, and a chlorophyll solution, which realizes precise temperature control, no contact pollution, uniform spatial distribution, portable operation, and stable operation during the calibration process.

Both calibrate (calibrate) a single sensor by temperature control and adding chlorophyll standard solutions of different concentrations. The drift of sensor data caused by system dark current, heat generation, humidity, transportation vibration, etc. after the sensor is assembled on a mobile or fixed platform is ignored. Therefore, it is impossible to perform system calibration on a mobile or fixed observation platform with integrated chlorophyll sensors.

FET and pH iSEA If the error is less than 10% and the pH range is within 6.5-9.0, the pH sensor does not need to be calibrated, that is, the reference potential of the pH sensor itself is not changed.

[0077] The following is an explanation of the principle and method of on-site calibration of a sensor according to an embodiment of the on-site calibration method of a marine biochemical sensor of the present invention:

[0078] The dissolved oxygen sensor is calibrated on-site using the two-point method. The dissolved oxygen saturation is set to 100% by compressed air bubbling, and the dissolved oxygen saturation is set to 0% by high-purity nitrogen bubbling while adding an excess of high-grade pure sodium sulfite (2 g / 2000 L) to achieve a two-point calibration.

[0079] The nitrate sensor adopts two-point on-site calibration. The default nitrate of the ocean surface seawater 6 is 0.0μM. A certain amount of high-concentration nitrate standard solution is added to the water tank 1 and mixed evenly to make its concentration reach 40.0μM (the average nitrate concentration value at a depth of 1000 meters in the ocean) to achieve two-point calibration.

[0080] The chlorophyll sensor is calibrated on-site using the two-point method. The default chlorophyll content in the ocean surface seawater 6 filtered by the spiral membrane is 0.0 μg / L. A certain amount of high-concentration chlorophyll standard solution is added to the water tank 1 and mixed evenly to make the concentration reach 5.0 μg / L, thereby achieving two-point calibration.

[0081] The PAH sensor is calibrated on-site using the two-point method. The PAH content in the ocean surface seawater 6 filtered by the spiral membrane is set to 0.0 μg / L by default. A certain amount of high-concentration standard solution of sodium 1,5-naphthalene disulfonate is added to the water tank 1 and mixed evenly to achieve a concentration of 20.0 μg / L, thereby achieving a two-point calibration.

[0082] The CDOM sensor is calibrated on-site using the two-point method, by adding a certain amount of high-concentration quinine sulfate standard solution to the water tank 1 and mixing it evenly to make its concentration reach 50.0 μg / L, and realizing two-point calibration together with the ocean surface seawater 6; or, if the ship allows, 2000 liters of 1000-meter layer seawater is sampled multiple times through the shipboard CTD as the CDOM sensor 0 point, and a certain amount of high-concentration quinine sulfate standard solution is added to make the concentration reach 50.0 μg / L to realize two-point calibration.

[0083] The pH sensor is calibrated on-site by comparative measurement, that is, it is measured by a high-precision pH meter carried on board, and the difference between the two is the calibration value.

[0084] The irradiance sensor is calibrated on-site using the two-point method, with the zero point being the case when sealed and protected from light, and the 100% point being the case when open for exposure.

[0085] Finally, it should be noted that: the various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referenced to each other.

[0086] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the specific implementation methods of the present invention can still be modified or some technical features can be replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit of the technical solution of the present invention, which should be included in the scope of the technical solution for protection of the present invention.
