gsw_rho_first_derivatives

Density First Derivatives wrt SA, CT and p (75-term equation)


Description

Density First Derivatives wrt SA, CT and p (75-term equation)

Usage

gsw_rho_first_derivatives(SA, CT, p)

Arguments

SA

Absolute Salinity [ g/kg ]

CT

Conservative Temperature [ degC ]

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). Consult http://www.teos-10.org to learn more about these software systems, their authorships, and the science behind it all.

Value

list containing drho_dSA [ kg^2/(g m^3) ], drho_dCT [ kg/(K m^3) ] and drho_dp [ kg/(Pa m^3) ]
