Summary: Units.PSU should have a scale value of 1/1000 Key: SIS-413 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SIS-413 Project: Spatial Information Systems Issue Type: New Feature Components: Utilities Affects Versions: 0.8 Reporter: Martin Desruisseaux Assignee: Martin Desruisseaux Fix For: 1.0 Sea Water Salinity was used to be measured in g/kg, with values sometime written with the "‰" symbol (e.g. "35‰"). In modern oceanography, this has been replaced by _Practical Salinity Unit_ (PSU), with values written without symbol (e.g. "35"). Strictly speaking, PSU units are not convertible to g/kg. However the PSU scale is by design very close to the old scale. If someone nevertheless attempts a conversion between those two scales, we want it to be close to the identity operation. Currently, the conversion wrongly multiply or divide values by 1000. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
