Set TRUE if t is theta or FALSE if t is in-situ

isTheta

Compute $\alpha$, the seawater thermal expansion
  coefficient, as the product of $\alpha/\beta$ and
  $\beta$, each calculated from McDougall's (1987) algorithm.

misc

Supports the analysis of Oceanographic data, including ADP
        measurements, CTD measurements, sectional data, sea-level
        timeseries, coastline files, etc. Provides functions for
        calculating seawater properties such as potential temperature
        and density, as well as derived properties such as buoyancy
        frequency and dynamic height.
