Hello Recipient,

Can you please assist me in knowing which DENSITY Formula to use in order to calculate density from given Pressure, Temperature and Salinity. I know the formula for MATLAB which is

T = temperature
S = Salinity

a=[6.536332e-9,-1.120083e-6,1.001685e-4,-9.095290e-3,6.793952e-2,999.842594];
b=[5.3875e-9,-8.2467e-7,7.6438e-5,-4.0899e-3,8.24493e-1];
c=[-1.6546e-6,1.0227e-4,-5.72466e-3];
d=4.8314e-4;
rho=polyval(a,T)+(polyval(b,T)+polyval(c,T).*sqrt(S)+d*S).*S;

,but I tried to fit this in my coding and its generating syntax error. Can anyone please let me know the correct formula for density so that I can project the graph of pressure vs density after the density calculation.
Thanks
