gsw_CT_second_derivatives: Second Derivatives of Conservative Temperature

Description

Second Derivatives of Conservative Temperature

Usage

gsw_CT_second_derivatives(SA, pt)

Arguments

SA

Absolute Salinity [ g/kg ]

pt

potential temperature (ITS-90) [ degC ]

Value

A list containing CT_SA_SA [ K/(g/kg)^2 ], the second derivative of Conservative Temperature with respect to Absolute Salinity at constant potential temperature, and CT_SA_pt [ 1/(g/kg) ], the derivative of Conservative Temperature with respect to potential temperature and Absolute Salinity, and CT_pt_pt [ 1/degC ], the second derivative of Conservative Temperature with respect to potential temperature.

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).
