Title：Tools of Oceanography – the Thermodynamic Equation of Seawater 2010 (TEOS-10)
Time：11/29 (Thu) 14:20~15:10
Location：Room 232 of IONTU
*Language: English
Abstract：
In 2010 all leading governmental and non-governmental organizations officially accepted. The Thermodynamic Equation of Seawater – 2010 (or TEOS-10) as a basic definition of seawater and its properties. Why did they do this? In this talk, I will describe the conceptual and practical issues that this redefinition was meant to address, with a particular focus on the so-called “salinity anomaly” and its important role in our current efforts to understand ocean general circulation issues.
