## Notice

2 x in-situ marine nutrient (total oxidised nitrate i.e. nitrite plus nitrate) analysers. A wet-chemical nutrient analyser is required for use in coastal and offshore marine monitoring. It will be fitted to our autonomous monitoring platforms, specifically a surface mooring (SmartBuoy) for continuous collection of nutrient data. It should be supplied with suitable mounting points. - The instrument should be capable of measuring dissolved total oxidised nitrogen (NO2- + NO3-) in a turbid coastal marine environment with a high degree of sensitivity, accuracy and stability: o Linear range: 0.1 - 150 umol l-1 o Analytical uncertainty
