gsw (version 1.2-0)

gsw_frazil_ratios_adiabatic_poly: Ratios of SA, CT and p changes when Frazil Ice Forms (polynomial form)

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_poly(SA, p, w_Ih)

Value

a list containing dSA_dCT_frazil, dSA_dP_frazil and dCT_dP_frazil.

Arguments

SA

Absolute Salinity [ g/kg ]. The valid range for most `gsw` functions is 0 to 42 g/kg.

p

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

w_Ih

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

Implementation Note

This R function uses a wrapper to a C function contained within the GSW-C system as updated 2022-10-11 at https://github.com/TEOS-10/GSW-C with git commit `657216dd4f5ea079b5f0e021a4163e2d26893371`.

The C function uses data from the library/gsw_data_v3_0.mat file provided in the GSW-Matlab source code, version 3.06-11. Unfortunately, this version of the mat file is no longer displayed on the TEOS-10.org website. Therefore, in the interests of making GSW-R be self-contained, a copy was downloaded from http://www.teos-10.org/software/gsw_matlab_v3_06_11.zip on 2022-05-25, the .mat file was stored in the developer/create_data directory of https://github.com/TEOS-10/GSW-R, and then the dataset used in GSW-R was created based on that .mat file.

Please consult http://www.teos-10.org to learn more about the various TEOS-10 software systems.
