9. PT - Pressure transducer, which includes a temperature sensor Oceanographic Research Cruise 2015-2016 Measurement of Sea Surface Elevation hydrostatic pressure -The hydrostatic pressure (used in Oceanography) is the pressure due to the water column above a given level (depth), which implies that p = 0 when the level is the free surface, which is at atmospheric pressure. -Fundamental Equation of Hydrostatic describes the pressure variation, p, with depth, z, in a column of fluid: p =  g z  z =p/  g
