Heat capacity of sea water

Description

Estimates the heat capacity of seawater, using the UNESCO 1983 polynomial

Usage

cp(S=35, T=25, P=0)

Arguments

S Salinity, -
T Temperature, dgC
P Pressure, bar

Value

Heat capacity, in J kg^{-1} dgC^{-1}

Note

cp for S=40, T=40, P=1000 is 3849.5 J/(kg dgC)
