Biogeochemical processes change the chemical composition of seawater, which causes a change in its physical properties, such as density, salinity, temperature, etc. This can lead to uncertainties when using a CTD probe to measure the hydrophysical parameters of seawater in field studies and other traditional methods. These uncertainties (errors) can be more significant in inland seas than in the open ocean. This paper is devoted to assessing such uncertainties using the example of the deep water
