Changes in dynamic viscosity of sea water with depth in the Pacific Ocean at Stations DM9-613W and DM9-618W

DOI

To check on the assumption that metabolic products of planktonic organisms can affect the coefficient of dynamic viscosity of seawater, viscosity was measured in water samples taken from depths of 0 to 1843 m, west of the Hawaiian Islands. Obtained results showed that plankton has no effect on viscosity of water in regions of low productivity and that viscosity can be determined with high degree of accuracy from the appropriate tables.

Dynamic viscosity was measured at 30°C.
