Abstract. An electrochemical based, all solid-state, calibration-free pH sensor is presented. The sensor is targeted for monitoring the pH of ocean and estuarine environments covering a salinity range from 10–35 ppt without the need for additional salinity measurements. The sensor performance is demonstrated in both laboratory and field conditions. The field tests were conducted in an estuarine environment close to Oban in Scotland where the sensor was deployed for a period of three days. The sensor was validated against a sampled solution and tested alongside a glass pH sensor. The data highlighted the efficiency of the sensor to monitor the tidal variations of pH in the estuarine environment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
