Nomograph Know-How



Use the Nomograph above to help you answer the following questions in your field notebook.


1. With the salinity at 10, and the temperature at 10 degrees C, what is the Nomograph reading for DO?

2. Leave the salinity reading at 10, but raise the temperature to 15. What happens to the DO? What does the nomograph tell you about the effect of temperature on DO?

3. Now set the temperature at 10. This time raise the salinity to 25. What happens to the DO? What does the nomograph tell you about the effect of salinity on water?
