ALTITUDE & SALINITY COMPENSATION
21
8. ALTITUDE & SALINITY COMPENSATION
Temperature, pressure (altitude) and salinity influence DO concentration.
Cold water holds more oxygen and therefore DO concentration increases with decreasing
temperature. Compensation for temperature-related solubility is done automatically
using the probe’s built in temperature sensor.
Altitude compensation
When measurements are done at an altitude below sea level, oxygen solubility increases.
Conversely for measurements made above sea level, the oxygen solubility decreases.
Select the approximate altitude in the SETUP menu (see Altitude Compensation for
details).
Salinity compensation
The solubility of oxygen in water is also influenced by the amount of salt in the water.
Freshwater holds more oxygen than saltwater does.
Seawater typically has a salinity of 35 g/L and the oxygen solubility is 18 % less compared
to fresh water at 25 °C. By entering the approximate salinity value, the calibration and
subsequent concentration measurement will be compensated to display the correct
oxygen concentration. A 18 % error would result if the salinity value is not entered.
The solubility of oxygen dissolved in water decreases in brackish or seawater; or for
measurements made at above sea level altitude.
