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 [$^\circ C$] 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 $^\circ C$.
