The Joint Committee on the Properties of Seawater
(IAPSO/SCOR/IAPWS)

The Joint Committee on the Properties of Seawater is a permanent IAPWS/SCOR/IAPSO joint committee which is responsible for maintaining and improving the recent seawater standard (TEOS-10), and for developing the cooperation with the BIPM and the WMO. In particular, the development of new definitions and measurement procedures for seawater salinity, seawater pH and relative humidity of air, traceable to the SI and thus ensuring measurement comparability over climatological time scales of decades or centuries, are being pursued by this joint committee.
