Interface Salinity
- All Superinterfaces:
javax.measure.Quantity<Salinity>
The Practical Salinity Scale (PSS-78).
This is a dimensionless quantity for the measurement of sea water salinity.
In principle, the unit of measurement associated to this quantity has no symbol.
However, Apache SIS uses the "psu" symbol for avoiding confusion with other dimensionless units.
Salinity
quantities should not be converted to quantities of other types.
If nevertheless a conversion to Dimensionless
is attempted,
then Apache SIS implementation maps 1 psu to 1‰ for rough correspondence with legacy
(before 1978) salinity measurements.
Most quantity types are defined in the
