British Challenger Expedition

S04 see Conservative Elements). The analytical results reported by W. Dittmar in 1884 for waters collected during the British RMS Challenger Expedition (1872-1876) from the world s oceans were almost the same as today s values. The constancy of major chemical composition has led oceanographers to define salinity as a fundamental property together with temperature to calculate the density of sea water. It was routine for classic physical oceanographers to titrate sea water for chloride (plus bromide) ion with silver nitrate standard solution, until the mid 1960s when salinity could be determined more practically by measurement of conductivity. [Pg.7]
