Conservative temperature is a thermodynamic property used in oceanography and marine sciences to quantify the thermal state of seawater while accounting for the effects of pressure and salinity. Unlike traditional temperature measurements, which typically reflect the specific energy content of water, conservative temperature provides a measure that is more related to the potential temperature available to the water when it is brought to the surface under the same pressure conditions.
