The specific conductance of three sea water samples (33. 634°/oo,
34.099°/oo and 35.001°/oo) was measured at twelve temperatures from
0°C to 21.00°C and at nine pressures from atmospheric to 4,141.8
decibars above atmospheric. Polynomials for specific conductance as
a function of temperature and as a function of pressure are computed
from the data, but the temperature-pressure effect is obscure.
Two empirical equations that relate conductivity ratio to temperature
and pressure are also developed. These equations better describe
the temperature-pressure effect on conductivity at the pressures
studied which correspond to the upper 4,000 meters of the ocean.
