gsw_specvol_first_derivatives: First Derivatives of Specific Volume

Description

First Derivatives of Specific Volume

Usage

gsw_specvol_first_derivatives(SA, CT, p)

Arguments

SA

Absolute Salinity [ g/kg ]

CT

Conservative Temperature [ degC ]

p

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

Value

A list containing v_SA [ (m^3/kg)/(g/kg) ], the derivative of specific volume with respect to Absolute Salinity, v_CT [ (m^3/kg)/degC], the derivative of specific volume with respect to Conservative Temperature, and v_p [ (m^3/kg)/dbar ], the derivative of specific volume with respect to pressure. (Note that the last quantity is denoted v_P in the documentation for the Matlab function.)

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).
