This project is for the development of a micro-rosette which will acquire and store water samples during the profilers' ascent, and conduct the analysis at park depth. Unlike pCO2 and pH, dissolved inorganic carbon measurement is well-suited for this type of ex-situ analysis because it is insensitive to temperature and pressure.

This project will result in the first autonomous, Lagrangian vertical profiles of DIC in the upper 2000 m of the ocean, marking a major step in development of a new generation of tools necessary to better understand annual cycles of carbon in addition providing direct observations of ocean acidi.cation over large areas of the ocean.
