New approach to remote sensing of temperature and salinity in natural water samples
Abstract:
Raman spectra for a natural water sample have been comprehensively investigated as a function of temperature and salinity, and we demonstrate that temperature and salinity can be determined from Raman spectra with RMS errors consistently below ±0.2 °C and ±0.6 PSU respectively where there is variation only in one parameter. Most significantly, we have applied multivariate methods to show that both temperature and salinity can be determined simultaneously from Raman spectra with RMS errors of ±0.7 °C and ±1.4 PSU respectively, and designed a three-channel Raman spectrometer that will be used for future studies.

Water freezes when the intermolecular forces are greater than the kinetic energy. Unlike most other substances, water is less dense in its solid state than in its liquid state. This is because each water molecule can form...
