gsw_cabbeling

cabbeling coefficient (48-term equation)

Contents

USAGE:

cabbeling = gsw_cabbeling(SA,CT,p)

DESCRIPTION:

Calculates the cabbeling coefficient of seawater with respect to
Conservative Temperature.  This function uses the computationally-
efficient 48-term expression for density in terms of SA, CT and p
(McDougall et al., 2011)
Note that the 48-term equation has been fitted in a restricted range of 
parameter space, and is most accurate inside the "oceanographic funnel" 
described in McDougall et al. (2011).  The GSW library function 
"gsw_infunnel(SA,CT,p)" is avaialble to be used if one wants to test if 
some of one's data lies outside this "funnel".

INPUT:

SA  =  Absolute Salinity                                        [ g/kg ]
CT  =  Conservative Temperature                                [ deg C ]
p   =  sea pressure                                             [ dbar ]
       ( i.e. absolute pressure - 10.1325 dbar )
SA & CT need to have the same dimensions.
p may have dimensions 1x1 or Mx1 or 1xN or MxN, where SA & CT are MxN.

OUTPUT:

cabbeling  =  cabbeling coefficient with respect             [ 1/(K^2) ]
              to Conservative Temperature.

EXAMPLE:

SA = [34.7118; 34.8915; 35.0256; 34.8472; 34.7366; 34.7324;]
CT = [28.8099; 28.4392; 22.7862; 10.2262;  6.8272;  4.3236;]
p =  [     10;      50;     125;     250;     600;    1000;]
cabbeling = gsw_cabbeling(SA,CT,p)
