title: Potential density
text: The potential density of a fluid parcel at pressure P is the density that the parcel would acquire if adiabatically brought to a reference pressure P 0 , often 1 bar. Whereas density changes with changing pressure, potential density of a fluid parcel is conserved as the pressure experienced by the parcel changes. The concept is used in oceanography and atmospheric science. Potential density is a dynamically important property: for static stability potential density must decrease upward. If it do
