gsw_pressure_freezing_CT

pressure of seawater at the freezing temperature

Contents

USAGE:

pressure_freezing = gsw_pressure_freezing_CT(SA,CT,saturation_fraction)

DESCRIPTION:

Calculates the pressure (in dbar) of seawater at the freezing
temperature.  That is, the output is the pressure at which seawater,
with Absolute Salinity SA, Conservative Temperature CT, and with 
saturation_fraction of dissolved air, freezes.  If the input values are 
such that there is no value of pressure in the range between 0 dbar and 
10,000 dbar for which seawater is at the freezing temperature, the 
output, pressure_freezing, is put equal to NaN.

INPUT:

SA  =  Absolute Salinity                                          [ g/kg ]
CT  =  Conservative Temperature (ITS-90)                         [ deg C ]

OPTIONAL:
saturation_fraction = the saturation fraction of dissolved air in 
                        seawater
  (i.e., saturation_fraction must be between 0 and 1, and the default 
    is 1, completely saturated) 
p & saturation_fraction (if provided) may have dimensions 1x1 or Mx1 or 
1xN or MxN, where SA and CT are MxN.

OUTPUT:

pressure_freezing  =  sea pressure at which the seawater          [ dbar ]
                      freezes
      ( i.e. absolute pressure - 10.1325 dbar ) 

EXAMPLE:

SA = [34.7118; 34.8915; 35.0256; 34.8472; 34.7366; 34.7324;]
CT = [-1.8996; -1.9407; -2.0062; -2.0923; -2.3593; -2.6771;]
saturation_fraction = [1; 0.8; 0.6; 0.5; 0.4; 0;]
pressure_freezing = gsw_pressure_freezing_CT(SA,CT,saturation_fraction)
