The density of seawater varies with temperature and salinity of the water. As temperature increases, density decreases. As salinity of the water increasaes, density also increases. ... Although the density of seawater varies at different points in the ocean, a good estimate of its density at the ocean's surface is...

Seawater - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Seawater is water from a sea or ocean. On average, seawater in the world's oceans has a salinity of about 3.5%. This means that every 1 kg of seawater has approximately 35 g of dissolved salts (mostl...

New seawater density measurements were made as a function of temperature (0 to 90°C) and salinity (5 to 70). The measurements (N=230) from 0 to 40°C and Practical Salinity from 0 to 40 were found to be in good agreement (σ=0.0036) with the equation of state of seawater (Millero and Poisson, 1981) made on samples with...

Seawater density depends on temperature, salinity and pressure. Colder water is denser. Saltier water is denser. High pressure increases density. The dependence is nonlinear. An empirical equation of state is used, based on very careful laboratory measurements.

SEAWATER density, a property of fundamental importance for oceanographers, is usually calculated from salinity (determined by chlorinity titration or measurement of electrical conductivity) using Knudsen's hydrographical tables1.

KREMLING has recently described1 a promising new method for the determination of the density of seawater. The agreement he demonstrates between his results and those based on the equation of state, determined by Knudsen as a function of salinity and temperature, is even better than he suggests.

We conclude from the modified experiment, that the cold water had a greater density than the warm water mass. ... A. If we mix water masses 4 and 2 in equal parts, what is the density of the resulting water mass? What is the salinity? Be sure to mark this point on your T-S diagram.
