gsw_frazil_ratios_adiabatic: Ratios of SA, CT and p changes when Frazil Ice Forms

Description

Ratios of changes in SA, CT and p that occur when frazil ice forms due to changes in pressure upon the mixture of seawater and ice.

Usage

gsw_frazil_ratios_adiabatic(SA, p, w_Ih)

Arguments

SA

Absolute Salinity [ g/kg ]

p

sea pressure [dbar], i.e. absolute pressure [dbar] minus 10.1325 dbar

w_Ih

initial mass fraction (ice) / (water + ice)

Value

a list containing dSA_dCT_frazil, dSA_dP_frazil and dCT_dP_frazil.

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).
