It equals the sum electrode of all the galvanic voltages of the combination electrode. Its depen- dency on the pH results in the electrode function, which is characterized by the parameters, slope and zero point.

In prac- tice, this dimension cannot be measured directly. Therefore, the practi- cal salinity according to IOT is used for oceanographic monitoring.
