New polynomials for thermal expansion, adiabatic temperature gradient and potential temperature of sea water
Abstract
A new polynomial, based on a least squares analysis of the experimental data of BRADSHAW and SCHLEICHER (1970), is given for the thermal expansion of sea water. New polynomials are also determined for the adiabatic temperature gradient and potential temperature. Uncertainties for all quantities given by polynomials are estimated.
