USAGE:
Arsol = gsw_Arsol(SA,CT,p,long,lat)
DESCRIPTION:
Calculates the argon, Ar, concentration expected at equilibrium with air
at an Absolute Pressure of 101325 Pa (sea pressure of 0 dbar) including
saturated water vapor. This function uses the solubility coefficients
as listed in Hamme and Emerson (2004).
INPUT:
SA = Absolute Salinity [ g/kg ]
CT = Conservative Temperature [ deg C ]
p = sea pressure [ dbar ]
(i.e. absolute pressure - 10.1325 dbar)
long = longitude in decimal degrees [ 0 ... +360 ]
or [ -180 ... +180 ]
lat = latitude in decimal degrees north [ -90 ... +90 ]
SA & CT need to have the same dimensions. p, lat and long may have
dimensions 1x1 or Mx1 or 1xN or MxN, where SA and CT are MxN.
OUTPUT:
Arsol = solubility of argon [ umol/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;]
lat = [ 4; 4; 4; 4; 4; 4;]
long = [ 188; 188; 188; 188; 188; 188;]
Arsol = gsw_Arsol(SA,CT,p,long,lat)
Arsol =
