surface_sea_water_ph_reported_on_total_scale 1 [UUUU] The surface called "surface" means the lower boundary of the atmosphere. sea_water_pH_reported_on_total_scale is the measure of acidity of sea water, defined as the negative logarithm of the activity of dissolved hydrogen ions plus bisulfate ions in a sea water medium; it can be measured or calculated; when measured the scale is defined according to a series of buffers prepared in artificial seawater containing bisulfate. The quantity may be written as pH(total) = -log([H+](free) + [HSO4-]).
