The EOS-80 equation calculates water density based on temperature (°C), salinity, and pressure (bars), considering their effects. It highlights the significant impact of salinity on density and the influence of temperature and salinity variations. The equation showcases how density changes with small adjustments in temperature and salinity levels.
