AI Technical Summary
Existing marine biochemical sensors, once assembled on mobile or fixed platforms, suffer from data drift due to factors such as dark current, heat generation, humidity, and transportation vibration, making system calibration impossible. Furthermore, existing methods only address chlorophyll sensors and lack comprehensive on-site calibration methods.
On-site calibration is performed using a water tank system. By pumping in surface seawater from the ocean, controlling dissolved oxygen saturation, adding standard solutions, and combining this with high-purity gas bubbling, simultaneous calibration of multiple marine biochemical sensors is achieved, including those for dissolved oxygen, nitrate, chlorophyll, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, CDOM, and irradiance sensors. The pH sensor is also specifically calibrated.
It significantly improves the standardization of long-term continuous marine monitoring sensors and the accuracy of measurement data, increases calibration efficiency, is suitable for marine environmental monitoring and scientific research, and provides high-quality observation data.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of ocean observation, and particularly relates to a field calibration method for an ocean biochemical sensor. BACKGROUND
[0002] The ocean biochemical sensor is a crucial component in modern ocean observation and detection technology. Before being put into application, the ocean biochemical sensor must undergo long-term sea trial verification, and field calibration during sea trial is the only technical means for quantitatively evaluating the sea trial effect of the sensor.
[0003] To this end, Chinese patent 202120842599.9 discloses a field calibration device for an ocean chlorophyll sensor, which comprises a terminal control computer, a deck unit, a refrigeration control unit, a calibration tank outer tank body, a calibration tank inner tank body, a heater, a rapid cooling coil, a magnetic stirring rod, a magnetic stirrer, a humidity sensor, a chlorophyll sensor, a temperature sensor, and a chlorophyll solution. The device realizes precise temperature control, non-contact pollution, uniform spatial distribution, portable operation, and stable operation during the calibration process.
[0004] However, the field calibration device for the ocean chlorophyll sensor has no difference from the laboratory calibration device, and both of them calibrate (calibrate) a single sensor by temperature control and adding chlorophyll standard solutions with different concentrations, ignoring the data drift of the sensor caused by system dark current, heat generation, humidity, transportation vibration, etc. after the sensor is assembled to a mobile or fixed platform. Therefore, the field calibration device cannot calibrate the mobile or fixed observation platform integrated with the chlorophyll sensor. In addition, the patent is only directed to the biochemical parameter of chlorophyll, and there is still a lack of related field calibration methods for commonly used biochemical sensors such as nitrate and pH sensors in ocean monitoring.

The soaking time of the water tank 1 after pumping in the ocean surface seawater 6 is 24 hours. The front end of the first pipeline 2 is provided with a 1.0 μm pore size roll filter device to remove most of the particulate matter. The first pipeline 2 and the second pipeline 3 adopt 304 food-grade stainless steel corrugated pipes. The 304 food-grade stainless steel corrugated pipe has a smooth surface, is easy to clean and maintain, and has excellent corrosion resistance, as well as high strength and hardness, and can resist the corrosion of various chemicals and is not easy to damage and deform.
[0054] The water tank 1 is provided with a water quality multi-parameter instrument 5 to monitor the temperature, salinity, turbidity and other environmental data of the ocean surface seawater 6 in the water tank 1 in real time. In steps S1 and S6, the temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen saturation and chlorophyll content of the seawater are measured by using the water quality multi-parameter instrument 5 for reference.

After the sealing cover is opened, the carrier integrated with the sensor can be placed on the support and put into the water tank 1, and after the power switch is turned on, the parameters of seawater are measured. Through the working state test of the integrated system of each sensor, the gross measurement error and obvious fault of each sensor are detected, and the measured data is calibrated on site.

[0061] S93, substitute the measured data such as temperature, salinity, pH iSEA , and response electric signal V into the calculation formula to obtain the standard reference potential k0, so as to realize the sea test correction of the pH sensor.
[0062] Wherein, pH FET is the pH value obtained by the pH sensor, and pH iSEACO2SYSTEM is a tool for calculating seawater properties related to the marine carbonate system, which has excel version, and python version, etc. If the pH value obtained by the designated instrument is less than 10% error, and the pH range is within 6.5-9.0, the pH sensor does not need to be corrected, that is, the reference potential of the pH sensor itself is not changed. FET and the error of pH iSEA is less than 10%, and the pH range is within 6.5-9.0, the pH sensor does not need to be corrected, that is, the reference potential of the pH sensor itself is not changed.

Specifically, the flow meter is arranged at the inlet of the water tank 1, and the flow meter is selected as a precision liquid flow meter with an accuracy of ±1.0L. In steps S1, S4 and S91, 2000L of the ocean surface seawater 6 after the rolling membrane filtration is accurately metered and pumped into the water tank 1 according to the flow meter display.
[0064] In order to evaluate the calibration results of each sensor in the sea trial, the data should be analyzed by appropriate mathematical statistics method to obtain the calibration conclusion. In this embodiment, the field calibration method of the marine biochemical sensor further includes step S10 of evaluating the calibration results of the sensors in the sea trial:

[0073] S112, confirming whether the difference between the in-situ measured value of the pH sensor and the set calibration value is greater than 0.05, if yes, re-adjusting the sensor hardware until the difference between the in-situ measured value and the set calibration value is less than 0.05.
