No single technology will be useful for solving all measurement problems. Nonsensory types of instrument packages, such as gas chromatographs, capillary zone electrophoresis, and mass spectrometers, will continue to be of some value in addressing ocean measurement needs in the future.

Various agencies must be involved in coordinating this international effort, including the Department of State, as ocean measurement needs are international in scope. Finally, the Fulbright Program, as well as NATO fellowships, should be used to disseminate new measurement technologies and research expertise throughout the world community.

Yet ocean instrumentation takes longer to develop than typical laboratory instrumentation, because it must be made to work reliably in a hostile ocean environment after being demonstrated on the laboratory bench. For instance, constructing a specialized instrument for use on land might take 2 to 4 years before publishable results are obtained.

Such extended cruises are far from ideal for testing, since conditions vary with the different places ships go; the extended cruise does not permit quick return to the laboratory for modifications; the operational aspects of the cruise (course, speed, use of other equipment such as depth sounders) may be ill suited to testing a particular device; and the expeditionary nature of cruises requires months of preparation.

For instance, a S-year development program accomplished in 3 years would save 2 years of salary and benefits of the participants. Clearly, improving access to ship time for instrument developers would enhance availability of ocean instrumentation.

Education and Training The committee recognizes that successful implementation of an ocean instrumentation development effort requires extensive ongoing transfer of information and opportunities between the ocean science and analytical chemistry communities. The committee recommends a multipronged approach to accomplish this information transfer.

to foster interdisciplinary research between oceanographers and analytical chemists on timely ocean measurement problems. The academic reward structure for analytical chemists depends on contributions to chemistry, not marine science.

80 ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY FOR OCEANIC CARBON CYCLE STUDIES on this first-hand exposure, these scientists could incorporate more examples of oceanographic measurement techniques into their undergraduate and graduate analytical curricula. In addition, such an experience might stimulate more research initiatives by these faculty in ocean measurement technologies.
