TEOS-10 Manual history



Current version (June 2015)

This version includes:
Changes to appendix A.30 and appendix K, replacing the 48-­term rational function for specific volume (as a function of Absolute Salinty, Conservative Temperature and pressure) with a 75-­term polynomial.


Previous versions

10th May 2013
Material added to sections 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.20 and appendices A.22 and A.23.

20th March 2011
Changes to appendix A.30 and appendix K, replacing the 25-­term rational function for density (as a function of Absolute Salinty, Conservative Temperature and Pressure) with a 48-­term version.

22nd September 2010
Page 100. Changes in Eqns. (A.18.5) – (A.18.7).
Page 122. Simplified Eqn. (A.30.6).


14th September 2010
Corrected a typo on the left-hand side of Eqn. (A.11.16).

3rd September 2010
Extensive changes to page 122 (the description of enthalpy obtained from the 25-term expression for density),
page 174 (the list of GSW Toolbox function names) and
page 179 (the description of how the 25-­term expression for density, along with knowledge of the exact Gibbs function at p = 0 dbar, can be used as the full thermodynamic potential of seawater).


20th August 2010
Throughout the document, changed hp to hP and so help to clarify when pressure must be expressed in Pa rather than dbar.

17th April 2010
Page 102, line 6, an error in the inequality fixed, and changed to be in terms of enthalpy (as a function of Absolute Salinty, Conservative Temperature and pressure).

13th April 2010
