gsw_thermobaric_CT_exact

thermobaric coefficient

Contents

USAGE:

thermobaric_CT_exact = gsw_thermobaric_CT_exact(SA,CT,p)

DESCRIPTION:

Calculates the thermobaric coefficient of seawater with respect to
Conservative Temperature. This routine calculates the thermobaric
coefficient with the full TEOS-10 Gibbs function expression for density.
This function uses finite differences to calculate the temperature and
pressure derivatives.
Note that this function uses the full Gibbs function.  There is an 
alternative to calling this function, namely gsw_thermobaric(SA,CT,p) 
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 )
SA & CT need to have the same dimensions.
p may have dimensions 1x1 or Mx1 or 1xN or MxN, where SA & CT are MxN.

OUTPUT:

thermobaric_CT_exact  =  thermobaric coefficient with respect
                          to Conservative Temperature.      [ 1/(K Pa) ]
Note. The pressure derivative is taken with respect to
  pressure in Pa not dbar.

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;]
thermobaric_CT_exact = gsw_thermobaric_CT_exact(SA,CT,p)
