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"))

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).

Value

In-situ temperature [$degC$] in the ITS-90 scale.

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 $degC$.
