Thermohaline Isopycnal (T–S)

σ_t = 0.8(S−35) − 0.05T − 0.006T² = const
Thermohaline Isopycnal (T–S)

Along a line of constant density in a T–S diagram water must grow warmer as it grows saltier to stay neutrally buoyant, and the isopycnal curves gently because seawater's thermal expansion strengthens with temperature.
