Calculate properties related to seaice melting in seawater


Description

Calculate properties related to seaice melting in seawater

Usage

gsw_melting_seaice_into_seawater(SA, CT, p, w_seaice, SA_seaice, t_seaice)

Arguments

SA

Absolute Salinity [ g/kg ]

CT

Conservative Temperature [ degC ]

p

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

w_seaice

mass fraction (seaice) / (water + seaice)

SA_seaice

Absolute Salinity of seaice

t_seaice

temperature of seaice

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 and CT_final.
