The density of water increases as the salinity increases.
The density of seawater (salinity greater than 24.7) increases as temperature decreases at all temperatures above the freezing point.
The density of seawater is increased by increasing pressure. Density changes about 2% because of the pressure difference between the surface and the deep seafloor. The effect of pressure on density usually can be ignored because most applications require density comparisons between water masses at the same depth.
Water of salinity less than 24.7 has an anomalous density maximum. Pure water has its maximum density at about 4°C, but the maximum density of water occurs at lower temperatures as salinity increases. Between 4°C and the freezing point, the density of pure water decreases as temperature decreases.
The relative importance of changes in temperature and salinity in determining seawater density varies with water temperature. Temperature variations are more important in warm ocean waters, whereas salinity variations are more important in cold ocean waters.
