| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To solve problems in traditional salinity measurement and to realize the salinity measurement based on the definition, an absolute salinometer based on refractive index measurement was developed. The absolute salinometer was made by combining a commercially available spectral interference laser displacement meter with an optical measuring cell. Absolute Salinity can be measured with a range of 6 to 120 g/kg and a resolution of 0.13 mg/kg. Seawater samples whose salinity lower than 6 g/kg can be measured by using a standard seawater instead of using pure water as a reference liquid. Pure water and IAPSO Standard Seawater are useful for calibration of the absolute salinometer.
