gsw_CT_from_pt: Conservative Temperature from Potential Temperature

Description

Conservative Temperature from Potential Temperature

Usage

gsw_CT_from_pt(SA, pt)

Arguments

SA

Absolute Salinity [ g/kg ]

pt

potential temperature (ITS-90) [ degC ]

Value

Conservative Temperature [ degC ]

Details

The present R function works with a wrapper to a C function contained within the GSW-C system (Version 3.05-4 dated 2017-08-07, available at https://github.com/TEOS-10/GSW-C, as git commit '5b4d959e54031f9e972f3e863f63e67fa4f5bfec'), which stems from the GSW-Fortran system (https://github.com/TEOS-10/GSW-Fortran) which in turn stems from the GSW-Matlab system (https://github.com/TEOS-10/GSW-Matlab).
