sw.rho {oce} | R Documentation |
Compute, rho, the in-situ density of seawater.
rho <- sw.rho(S, t, p);
S |
in-situ salinity [PSU] |
t |
in-situ temperature [degC] |
p |
in-situ pressure [dbar] |
The density is calculated using the UNESCO equation of state for seawater, assuming that input variables are defined according to modern calibrations. In conventional Oceanographic notation, the calculated quantity is rho(S,t,p)
In-situ density [kg/m^3].
