What exactly do they mean by "seawater"? Not all seawater is exactly the same, chemically speaking. I have actually measured "seawater" before, and the chemistry of the water at a single location can vary wildly from day to day. I just want to know under what conditions they tested their prototype!
THIS IS NOT BAD FAITH FAUX IGNORANCE. I AM ACTUALLY CURIOUS ABOUT THIS.

- jacobwilliamroy 7y agoThat's only if you take the average of all the measurements collected across the entire ocean for decades. In one spot, salinity is not consistent. Patterns of evaporation and rainfall affect not only salinity but also the presence of organic matter and other random contaminants. Such fluctuations are most pronounced at the surface, where this device is meant to operate.
