swTSrho: Seawater temperature from salinity and density

Description

Compute in-situ temperature, given salinity, density, and pressure.

Usage

swTSrho(
  salinity,
  density,
  pressure = NULL,
  eos = getOption("oceEOS", default = "gsw")
)

Value

In-situ temperature in \(^\circ\)C on the ITS-90 scale.

Arguments

salinity

in-situ salinity (PSU)

density

in-situ density or sigma value (kg/m\(^3\))

pressure

in-situ pressure (dbar)

eos

equation of state to be used, either "unesco" or "gsw" (ignored at present).

Author

Dan Kelley

Details

Finds the temperature that yields the given density, with the given salinity and pressure. The method is a bisection search with temperature tolerance 0.001 \(^\circ\)C.
