Abstract
An International Nutrients Scale System (INSS) workshop was held at UNESCO, Paris, France on 10-12 February 2009. The workshop focused on the ongoing international collaboration of establishing global comparability of nutrient data from the world's ocean. The objectives of the workshop were to (i) provide an updated manual of nutrients analysis by the INSS group; (ii) review the usage of nutrients and carbonate system data in oceanography and, hence, the necessity of INSS; (iii) report result from the "2008 RMNS inter-comparison experiments"; (iv) update the plan of "short-term stability experiment-characterization of RMNS" in 2009-2011; (v) dedvelop non-toxic CRMs for the Co2 System; and (vi) expand the RMNS for DOC, DON and DOP references.
