Abstract
Weight-concentrated solutions of standard seawater P101 were used to m easure conductivity ratio R(t) and density rho(S, t, 0) for salinity ( S) ranging from 35 to 50 and temperature (t) from 10 to 30-degrees-C. These data were fitted into third degree polynomials in temperature an d salinity that give the salinity with a precision of +/-3 x 10(-3) an d the density with a precision of +/-4 x 10(-3) kg m-3, from 42 to 50 salinity and 10 to 30-degrees-C. These polynomials are proposed to ext end the Practical Salinity Scale 1978 and the Equation of State 1980.
