本报告的目的是为预测世界海洋任何深度或位置的元素组成提供依据。我们的目的不是评估元素浓度变化的重要性，而只是提供一种估计它们的方法。然而，该方法无法解决估算沉积物或人类活动的局部释放影响的问题。开阔海洋的盐度范围在33‰和38‰之间Dittmar [1884]表明，尽管总盐浓度存在这种变化，但构成大部分盐含量的不同离子的比例非常恒定。从这个意义上说，这些离子被认为是“保守的”;也就是说，它们的变化完全归因于向固定元素比例的盐溶液中添加或减少纯水。某些微量元素的浓度也被证明与分析误差内的氯度相关，这些也可以被归类为保守行为。
The purpose of this report is to provide a basis for predicting the composition of elements at any depth or location in the world oceans. Our aim is not to assess the importance of variations in elemental concentrations but only to provide a method of estimating them. The method, however, provides no entry into the problem of estimating the effects of local releases from sediments or of human activity. The salinity of the open ocean ranges between 33‰ and 38‰ Dittmar [1884] showed that despite this variation in total salt concentration the proportions of the different ions making up most of the salt content were remarkably constant. In that sense these ions are identified as being ‘conservative’; that is, their variation is ascribed exclusively to the addition or subtraction of pure water to a saline solution of fixed elemental proportions. The concentrations of certain trace elements also have been shown to correlate with chlorinity within analytical errors and these too can be classified as behaving conservatively.
