The asterisked constants that follow are modified from the constants given in Millero and Poisson (1980) to permit the computation of specific volume anomaly δ. The modified constants necessary for specific volume anomaly computations are enclosed in brackets.
p (S, t, 0) = pw + (b0 + b1t + b2t2 + b3t3 + b4t4) S + (c0 + c1t + c2t2) S3/2 + d0S2 (13)

The density of the reference pure water (SMOW, Craig, 1961) is given by (IUPAC, 1976)
pw = a0 + a1t + a2t2 + a3t3 + a4t4 + a5t5 (14)
where
a0* = + 999.842594 [-28.263737]
a1 = + 6.793952 E-2
a2 = - 9.095290 E-3
a3 = + 1.001685 E-4
a4 = - 1.120083 E-6
a5 = + 6.536332 E-9
Should more reliable data for pure water become available in the future, this equation can be easily modified. The secant bulk modulus (K) of seawater is given by
