gsw_frazil_properties_potential_poly

Properties of Frazil ice i.t.o. potential enthalpy (polynomial version)


Description

Calculation of Absolute Salinity, Conservative Temperature, and ice mass fraction based on bulk Absolute Salinity, bulk potential enthalpy, and pressure

Usage

gsw_frazil_properties_potential_poly(SA_bulk, h_pot_bulk, p)

Arguments

SA_bulk

Absolute Salinity of a combination of seawater and ice [ g/kg ]

h_pot_bulk

potential enthalpy of a mixture of seawater and ice [ J/kg ]

p

sea pressure [dbar], i.e. absolute pressure [dbar] minus 10.1325 dbar

Details

The present R function works with a wrapper to a C function contained within the GSW-C system (Version 3.05-4 dated 2017-08-07, available at https://github.com/TEOS-10/GSW-C, as git commit '5b4d959e54031f9e972f3e863f63e67fa4f5bfec'), which stems from the GSW-Fortran system (https://github.com/TEOS-10/GSW-Fortran) which in turn stems from the GSW-Matlab system (https://github.com/TEOS-10/GSW-Matlab).

Value

a list containing SA_final, h_final and w_Ih_final.
