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.

Short summary
ANB Sensors has developed a novel solid-state technology for monitoring the pH of estuarine environments. It was shown to respond effectively to pH in laboratory environments where the pH of the sea water solution was manipulated by injections of CO2. Field tests were conducted in an estuarine environment close to Oban, Scotland. The sensor was validated against a sampled solution and the data highlighted the efficiency of the sensor to monitor the tidal variations of pH.
