temperature
in-situ temperature [$^\circ$C]
pressure
pressure [dbar]
Value
Conservative temperature in degrees Celcius.
Details
If the first argument is a ctd object, then values of salinity,
etc, are extracted from it, and used for the calculation.
The conservative temperature is calculated using the TEOS-10 function
gsw_ct_from_t.

The related TEOS-10 quantity ``absolute salinity'' may be computed
with swAbsoluteSalinity. For a ctd object, conservative
temperature may also be recovered by indexing as e.g.
ctd[["conservativeTemperature"]] or ctd[["CT"]].
