Abstract
Monitoring the state of oceans and their evolution in space and time is of fundamental importance as they are severely impacted by climate change, showing an increase in temperature, acidity and stratification. The role of metrology in the marine sector is relevant for helping oceanographers consolidate measurement approaches already in place by introducing concepts like metrological traceability and measurement uncertainty. The aim of this paper is to present some examples of successful and potential applications of metrology in oceanographic research, with a focus on past and ongoing activities in the framework of joint research cooperation, which could be applied by oceanographers to consolidate the comparability of data acquired in different experimental conditions, and places and time for some essential ocean variables. Scientific cooperation in the framework of joint research projects is particularly useful for supporting measurement capabilities in marine research worldwide, and the technologies and methods developed so far represent a starting point for improvements in international monitoring networks. These techniques may be applied by laboratories and centres working in the marine sector. Applications and possible future developments will also be discussed in this paper.
