where, 



a36,o.o = specific volume of sea water at salinity of 35°/oo, temperature 0° C, and atmospheric pressure, equal to 

 0.972643, 

 p = pressuie, 

 <'3s.o.o=Sigma-zero, which is IW (paj.o.o— 1) equal to 28.126. 



Example: 



Given, p = 4,000 decibars. 

 From table IV, ajs.o. , = 0.95566.
