A new extended Gibbs thermodynamic potential of seawater

Abstract A new and extended Gibbs thermodynamic potential function of seawater is proposed to overcome generally known weaknesses of the International Equation of State of Seawater 1980 and its associated formulas (EOS80). It is valid for applied pressures up to 100 MPa (10,000 dbar), temperatures from −2–40°C, and practical salinities up to 42. At ambient pressure, it is applicable in heat capacity and density up to salinity 50. It includes the triple point of water for reference and is, over its range of validity, fully consistent with the current 1995 international scientific pure water standard, IAPWS95. In conjunction with an improved Gibbs potential of ice, it provides freezing temperatures of seawater for pressures up to 50 MPa (5000 dbar). It is compiled from an extensive set of experimental seawater data, rather than being derived from EOS80 equations. Older seawater data were specifically recalibrated for compatibility with the recent pure water standard. By this procedure, experimental high-pressure densities proved consistent with sound speeds confirmed by deep-sea travel time measurements. Temperatures of maximum density are described within their experimental uncertainty. For very low salinities, Debye-Huckel limiting laws are recompiled using latest physical and chemical constants. The potential function is expressed in the 1990 International Temperature Scale ITS-90.
