sw.T.S.rho: Seawater temperature from salinity and density

Description

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

Usage

sw.T.S.rho(S, rho, p)

Arguments

S
in-situ salinity [PSU]
rho
in-situ density or sigma value [kg/m$^3$]
p
in-situ pressure [dbar]

Value

  • In-situ temperature [$^\circ C$].

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 $^\circ C$.
