The potential temperature of water at a depth of 4000 meters (approximately 4000 dbar pressure), with an in-situ temperature of 0°C and a salinity of 35.0, is approximately ______.

Answer :

To determine the potential temperature of water at 4000m depth with specific conditions, use the related formula based on in-situ temperature, pressure, and salinity.

The potential temperature of water at 4000m depth with an in-situ temperature of 0°C and a salinity of 35.0 can be calculated using the equation that relates potential temperature to in-situ temperature, pressure, and salinity.

For this scenario:

  • In-situ temperature = 0°C
  • Salinity = 35.0
  • Pressure = 4000 dbar

By applying the appropriate formula, the approximate potential temperature can be determined.
