Popis: The increase in specific conductance of sea water with increased pressure was measured using two parcels of sea water (32.448 °/oo and 37.152 °/oo) at six temperatures from 2.39° C to 17.39° C. The pressure was incremented in steps of 140 decibars to a pressure of 4,000 decibars. Although the effect of pressure on the specific conductance of sea water is nearly linear, it must be described by a higher order polynomial if it is to be used to measure salinity to the usual accuracy required in oceanography. The three major effects that cause the increase in the specific conductance of sea water with increased pressure are shown to be: increased effective concentration due to compression, increased ionic mobility due to the breakdown of Frank-Wen clusters and the increased disassociation of magnesium sulphate ion pairs. http://archive.org/details/themeasurementnd1094512638 Lieutenant Commander, United States Coast Guard Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.
