swTSrho: Seawater temperature from salinity and density

Description

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

Usage

swTSrho(salinity, density, pressure, eos=getOption("eos", default='unesco'))

Arguments

salinity

in-situ salinity [PSU]

density

in-situ density or sigma value [kg/m$^3$]

pressure

in-situ pressure [dbar]

eos

name of equation of state to be used, either "unesco" or "teos". If the latter, then the computer must have the TEOS library installed; see teos.

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 $^\circ C$.
