The empirical equation to express the relationship of sea
water pressure and depth as listed in Table 5 is represented
by the parabolic equation:
i aA - 6 f? 2
P 14008242.333x10 "2 Eq. 1^
where
P sea water pressure in decibars
Z sea water depth in meters.
The error of Eq. 14 is presented in Table 6.

Table 6. Sea Water Pressure Error of Eq. 1^
Similarly, the empirical equation to express the relationship
of sea water density and depth is represented by the parabolic
equation:
6 1152
p 1.0281344,812x10 ^2-5.167x10 ^ Z Ed. 15
p Sea water density in grams per milliliter (old)
Z sea water depth in meters.
Density vs. depth data determined from Ref. 6 is the base
data from which the constants were chosen to derive Eq. 15.
The error of Eq. 15 is presented in Table 7.
