gsw_cp_t_exact

isobaric heat capacity

Contents

USAGE:

cp_t_exact = gsw_cp_t_exact(SA,t,p)

DESCRIPTION:

Calculates the isobaric heat capacity of seawater.

heat capacity.

INPUT:

SA   =   Absolute Salinity                                      [ g/kg ]
t    =   in-situ temperature (ITS-90)                          [ deg C ]
p    =   sea pressure                                           [ dbar ]
        ( ie. absolute pressure - 10.1325 dbar )
SA & t need to have the same dimensions.
p may have dimensions 1x1 or Mx1 or 1xN or MxN, where SA & t are MxN.

OUTPUT:

cp_t_exact   =   heat capacity of seawater                          [ J/(kg*K) ]

EXAMPLE:

SA = [34.7118; 34.8915; 35.0256; 34.8472; 34.7366; 34.7324;]
t =  [28.7856; 28.4329; 22.8103; 10.2600;  6.8863;  4.4036;]
p =  [     10;      50;     125;     250;     600;    1000;]
cp_t_exact = gsw_cp_t_exact(SA,t,p)
cp_t_exact =
