Enter temperature (T) and

Water density as a function of temperature only concentration (Rho)
rho = density in kg/m^3 as a function of temperature
T = temperature in C T 4
rho = 1000(1 - (T+288.9414)/(508929.2*(T+68.12963))*(T-3.9863)^2) Rho 1,000.000

Water density as a function of temperature and salinity

rhos = density in kg/m^3 as a function of temperature and salinity
S = salinity in g/kg S 100
