gsw_brineSA_CT

Absolute Salinity of seawater at the freezing point

Contents

USAGE:

brineSA_t = gsw_brineSA_t(t,p,saturation_fraction)

DESCRIPTION:

Calculates the Absolute Salinity of seawater at the freezing temperature.  
That is, the output is the Absolute Salinity of seawater, with the 
fraction saturation_fraction of dissolved air, that is in equilibrium 
with ice at in-situ temperature t and pressure p.  If the input 
values are such that there is no positive value of Absolute Salinity for
which seawater is frozen, the output, brineSA_t, is put equal to -99.

Absolute Salinity of seawater at the freezing point.

INPUT:

t  =  in-situ temperature (ITS-90)                             [ deg C ]
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 t is MxN.

OUTPUT:

brineSA_t  =  Absolute Salinity of seawater when it freezes, for 
              given input values of in-situ temperature
              pressure and air saturation fraction.             [ g/kg ]

EXAMPLE:

t = [-0.11901; -0.15608;  -0.72138; -1.97738;  -2.31728;  -2.56764;]
p =  [     10;      50;     125;     250;     600;    1000;]
saturation_fraction = 1
brineSA_t = gsw_brineSA_t(t,p,saturation_fraction)
brineSA_t =
