gsw_t_from_entropy

in-situ temperature from specific entropy

Contents

USAGE:

t  =  gsw_t_from_entropy(SA,entropy,p)

DESCRIPTION:

Calculates in-situ temperature from the specific entropy of seawater.

temperature from entropy.

INPUT:

SA  =  Absolute Salinity                                        [ g/kg ]
entropy  =  specific entropy                                [ J/(kg*K) ]
p   =  sea pressure                                             [ dbar ]
       ( i.e. absolute pressure - 10.1325 dbar )
SA & t need to have the same dimensions.
p may have dimensions 1x1 or Mx1 or 1xN or MxN, where SA & t are MxN.

OUTPUT:

t   =  in-situ temperature (ITS-90)                            [ deg C ]

EXAMPLE:

SA = [34.7118; 34.8915; 35.0256; 34.8472; 34.7366; 34.7324;]
entropy =  [400.4013; 395.4356; 319.8655; 146.7983;  98.6493;  62.7992;]
p =  [     10;      50;     125;     250;     600;    1000;]
t = gsw_t_from_entropy(SA,entropy,p)
t =
  28.786495704853536
  28.432705644785432
  22.810226060891541
