IMOS - ANMN Acidification Moorings Maria Island Platform

The Maria Island acidification mooring is co-located with the Maria Island National Reference Station (NRSMAI) on the east coast of Tasmania. It was first deployed in April 2011.\n\nThe mooring's instruments measure surface CO2, temperature and salinity. The hydrochemistry sampling at the National Reference Stations will also provide total alkalinity data, as will future pH sensors on the moorings, allowing for a complete determination of the carbonate system and pH. Current instrumentation: Battele Seaology pCO2 monitor, Aanderaa Oxygen Optode and Sea-bird Electronics, model SBE16plus V2 SEACAT.\n\nThe Acidification Moorings sub-facility is responsible for building an ocean carbon and acidification monitoring network for Australian waters. These moorings provide key observations to help us understand and address the problem of increasing ocean acidification.

玛丽亚岛酸化系泊站与塔斯马尼亚东海岸的玛丽亚岛国家参考站（NRSMAI）同址布设，于2011年4月首次部署。

该系泊站的仪器可测量表层二氧化碳（CO₂）、温度和盐度。国家参考站的水化学采样将提供总碱度数据，系泊站未来配备的pH传感器亦将提供该数据，从而能够全面测定碳酸盐系统与pH值。当前仪器包括：巴特尔海洋学（Battele Seaology）pCO₂监测仪、安德拉（Aanderaa）氧传感器（Oxygen Optode）以及海鸟电子（Sea-bird Electronics）公司的SBE16plus V2 SEACAT型号仪器。

酸化系泊站子设施负责为澳大利亚海域构建海洋碳与酸化监测网络。这些系泊站提供关键观测数据，助力理解并应对日益加剧的海洋酸化问题。
