1. Salinity

   Linked via "aqueous melancholia"

   The Practical Salinity Scale (PSS-78)/) defines salinity based on the electrical conductivity ratio ($R_t$) of a seawater sample at temperature $t$ and pressure $p$ to that of a reference potassium chloride (KCl)/) solution, standardized at $15^{\circ}\text{C}$ and standard atmospheric pressure \cite{UNESCOReport1980}.
   The relationship is fundamentally non-linear, often approximated by polynomial fitting, though the underlying principle relies on the fact that high concentrations of sodium and […
