Corrections to “The Dielectric Constant at P-Band for Salinity From 0 to 150 pss” (opens in new tab)

above article [1], the corrections are needed for signs in (3b) and (5a) and for the location of the decimal point in the first term in (8b). Equations (3b) and (5a) with the correct signs are \begin{align*} & \varepsilon _{s}\left ({{S, T}}\right) =\varepsilon _{s}\left ({{0, T}}\right)\left [{{1-\text {SR}\left ({{S, T}}\right)}}\right]\tag {3b}\\[8pt] & \tau \left ({{0, ~T }}\right) = \left [{{17.9539-0.6955 ~T+ 0.0177 ~T ^{2}-0.0002 ~T ^{3}}}\right]10^{-12.} \tag {5a}\end{align*}
