gsw (version 1.0-5)

gsw_spiciness0: Seawater Spiciness at p=0 dbar

Description

Calculate seawater spiciness referenced to 0 dbar (i.e. the surface).

Usage

gsw_spiciness0(SA, CT)

Arguments

SA

Absolute Salinity [ g/kg ]

CT

Conservative Temperature [ degC ]

Value

spiciness [ kg/m^3 ]

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).
