gsw_CT_from_pt

Conservative Temperature from potential temperature

Contents

USAGE:

CT = gsw_CT_from_pt(SA,pt)

DESCRIPTION:

Calculates Conservative Temperature of seawater from potential
temperature (whose reference sea pressure is zero dbar).

Conservative Temperature from potential temperature.

INPUT:

SA  =  Absolute Salinity                                        [ g/kg ]
pt  =  potential temperature (ITS-90)                          [ deg C ]
SA & pt need to have the same dimensions.

OUTPUT:

CT  =  Conservative Temperature                                [ deg C ]

EXAMPLE:

SA = [34.7118; 34.8915; 35.0256; 34.8472; 34.7366; 34.7324;]
pt = [28.7832; 28.4209; 22.7850; 10.2305;  6.8292;  4.3245;]
CT = gsw_CT_from_pt(SA,pt)
CT =
