Abstract
An approximation to the UNESCO equation of state for seawater is obtained in the form of a polynomial that is cubic in potential temperature, quadratic in pressure, and linear in salinity. The polynomial represents a reasonable compromise between accuracy and computational economy; it also allows potential temperature to be obtained analytically from given values of density, salinity, and pressure.
