sw_tpot

Estimates the potential temperature of seawater, using the UNESCO 1983
 polynomial.
It is the temperature an element of seawater would have if raised
 adiabatically with no change of salinity, to atmospheric pressure.

utilities

Datasets, constants, conversion factors, and utilities for 'MArine', 'Riverine',
'Estuarine', 'LAcustrine' and 'Coastal' science.
The package contains among others: (1) chemical and
physical constants and datasets, e.g. atomic weights, gas
constants, the earths bathymetry; (2) conversion factors
(e.g. gram to mol to liter, barometric units,
temperature, salinity); (3) physical functions, e.g. to
estimate concentrations of conservative substances, gas
transfer and diffusion coefficients, the Coriolis force
and gravity; (4) thermophysical properties of the
seawater, as from the UNESCO polynomial or from the more
recent derivation based on a Gibbs function.
