gsw_N2sol

solubility of N2 in seawater

Contents

USAGE:

N2sol = gsw_N2sol(SA,CT,p,long,lat)

DESCRIPTION:

Calculates the nitrogen, N2, 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:

N2sol = solubility of nitrogen                               [ 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;]
N2sol = gsw_N2sol(SA,CT,p,long,lat)
N2sol =
