Short summary
Measuring total alkalinity in seawater is essential for understanding and monitoring the ocean carbonate system. To improve the reliability of these measurements, we developed reference materials and tested them in an inter-laboratory comparison. We also thoroughly quantified, for the first time, the uncertainty of the standard measurement method. These results, as well as the key metrological tools developed, support more accurate long-term monitoring of the ocean carbonate system.
