Table of Oxygen Solubility
The following Table shows the equilibrium oxygen concentration
C
100
(T, P=1013mbar, S) in units of µmol/ L at standard atmospheric
pressure of 1013 mbar as a function of water temperature in units
of °C and salinity in units of PSU (“practical salinity unit” ≈ g/L). In
order to correct these values for the actual atmospheric pressure
p
atm
, the following formula has to be applied:
C
100
(T,P,S) = C
100
(T,P=1013mbar,S) x p
atm
/ 1013mbar
