N2 - The density measurements by Millero, Gonzalez and Ward (1976, Journal of Marine Research,34, 61-93) and Poisson, Brunet and Brun-Cottan (1980, Deep-Sea Research, 27, 1013-1028), from 0 to 40°C and 0.5 to 43 salinity, have been used to determine a new 1-atm equation of state for seawater. The equation is of the form (t°C; S; ρ{variant} kg m-3)ρ=ρ0+AS+BS 3 2+CS, where A=8.24493×10-1-4.0899×10-3t+7.6438×10-5t2-8.2467×10-7t3+5.3875×10-9t4B=-5.72466×10-3+1.0227×10-4t-1.6546×10-6t2C=4.8314×10-4 and ρ{variant}0 is the density of water (Bigg, 1967, British Journal of Applied Physics, 8, 521-537). ρ0=999.842594+6.793952×10-2t-9.095290×-3t2+1.001685×10-4t3-1.120083×10-6t4+6.536336×10-9t5. The standard error of the equation is 3.6 × 10-3 kg m-3. This equation will become the new 1-atm equation of state of seawater that has been suggested for use by the UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) joint panel on oceanographic tables and standards.
