USAGE:
specvol_anom_CT_exact = gsw_specvol_anom_CT_exact(SA,CT,p,SA_ref,CT_ref)
DESCRIPTION:
Calculates specific volume anomaly from Absolute Salinity, Conservative
Temperature and pressure. If the Absolute Salinity and Conservative
Temperature reference value (SA_ref and CT_ref) are not defined then a
default reference value of Absolute Salinity is SSO and the reference
value of Conservative Temperature is equal to 0 degress C.
Note that this function uses the full Gibbs function. There is an
alternative to calling this function, namely
gsw_specvol_anom(SA,CT,p,SA_ref,CT_ref), which uses the computationally
efficient 75-term expression for specific volume in terms of SA, CT and
p (Roquet et al., 2015).
INPUT:
SA = Absolute Salinity [ g/kg ]
CT = Conservative Temperature [ deg C ]
p = sea pressure [ dbar ]
( i.e. absolute pressure - 10.1325 dbar )
OPTIONAL:
SA_ref = reference Absolute Salinity [ g/kg ]
CT_ref = reference Conservative Temperature (ITS-90) [ deg C ]
SA & CT need to have the same dimensions.
SA_ref & CT_ref must be scalars and have dimensions 1x1.
p may have dimensions 1x1 or Mx1 or 1xN or MxN, where SA & CT are MxN.
OUTPUT:
specvol_anom_CT_exact = specific volume anomaly [ m^3/kg ]
EXAMPLE:
SA = [34.7118; 34.8915; 35.0256; 34.8472; 34.7366; 34.7324;]
CT = [28.8099; 28.4392; 22.7862; 10.2262; 6.8272; 4.3236;]
p = [ 10; 50; 125; 250; 600; 1000;]
SA_ref = 30
CT_ref = 4
specvol_anom_CT_exact = gsw_specvol_anom_CT_exact(SA,CT,p,SA_ref,CT_ref)
