ebase_rho: Seawater density calculation

Description

Seawater density calculation

Usage

ebase_rho(temp, salt, P)

Value

Rho (kg/m^3)

Arguments

temp

numeric for temperature (C)

salt

numeric for salinity (PSU)

P

numeric for pressure above atmospheric (dbar)

Details

Density of seawater is calculated according to the internationally accepted (UNESCO) equations. The standard error of the equation is 3.6 x 10-3 kg/m-3.

temp <- c(10, 20, 30)
salt <- c(30, 35, 40)
