Abstract

The speed of sound in sea water has been measured for various salinities over the temperature range 0.1–30°C at excess pressures of 0–60 MPa. The results are presented in tables and an equation derived by least-squares fitting that gives the difference in the speed of sound between distilled water and seawater. The data are compared with calculations on the Chen-Millero algorithm, which was used in compiling the UNESCO international tables for the speed of sound. Suggestions are made for setting up GSSSD tables “Seawater: Speed of sound.”
