gsw_CT_freezing

Conservative Temperature freezing point

Contents

USAGE:

CT_freezing = gsw_CT_freezing(SA,p,saturation_fraction)

DESCRIPTION:

Calculates Conservative Temperature freezing point of sea water.

Conservative Temperature freezing.

INPUT:

SA  =  Absolute Salinity                                        [ g/kg ]
p   =  sea pressure                                             [ dbar ]
       ( i.e. absolute pressure - 10.1325 dbar )     
         
OPTIONAL:

saturation_fraction  =  the saturation fraction of dissolved air  
                        in seawater
(i.e., saturation_fraction must be between 0 and 1, and the 
default is 1, completely saturated) 

p & saturation_fraction (if provided) may have dimensions 1x1 or Mx1
or 1xN or MxN, where SA is MxN.

OUTPUT:

CT_freezing = Conservative Temperature at freezing of seawater [ deg C ]
              That is, the freezing temperature expressed in
              terms of Conservative Temperature (ITS-90).

EXAMPLE:

SA = [34.7118; 34.8915; 35.0256; 34.8472; 34.7366; 34.7324;]
p =  [     10;      50;     125;     250;     600;    1000;]
saturation_fraction = 1;
CT_freezing = gsw_CT_freezing(SA,p,saturation_fraction)
CT_freezing =
  -1.899657519404743
