sw.T.S.rho {oce}R Documentation

Seawater temperature from salinity and density

Description

Compute in-situ temperature, given salinity, density, and pressure.

Usage

sw.T.S.rho(S, rho, p)

Arguments

S in-situ salinity [PSU]
rho in-situ density or sigma value [kg/m^3]
p in-situ pressure [dbar]

Details

Finds the temperature that yields the given density, with the given salinity and pressure. The method is a bisection search with temperature tolerance 0.001 degC.

Value

In-situ temperature [degC].
