This option is used to select whether the correction for air saturated water is made or not.
Calculation
Density of Air-Free Water
The density of air-free water is calculated by:
![]()
| Where | ||
|---|---|---|
| ρ0 | = | 999.97358 (Maximum density of water (at t0)) | 
| t0 | = | 3.9818°C | 
| A | = | 7.0134 x 10-8 °C-1 | 
| B | = | 7.926504 x 10-6 °C-2 | 
| C | = | -7.575677 x 10-8 °C-3 | 
| D | = | 7.314894 x 10-10 °C-4 | 
| E | = | -3.596458 x 10-12 °C-5 | 
Correction for Air-Saturated Water
The correction for air-saturated water is:

This is then added onto the density of air free water to give the density for air saturated water.
