gsw_dynamic_enthalpy_CT_exact

dynamic enthalpy of seawater

Contents

USAGE:

dynamic_enthalpy_CT_exact  =  gsw_dynamic_enthalpy_CT_exact(SA,CT,p)

DESCRIPTION:

Calculates the dynamic enthalpy of seawater from Absolute Salinity and 
Conservative Temperature and pressure.  Dynamic enthalpy is defined 
as enthalpy minus potential enthalpy (Young, 2010). 
Note that this function uses the full Gibbs function.  There is an 
alternative to calling this function, namely gsw_dynamic_enthalpy(SA,CT,p),
which uses the computationally-efficient 48-term expression for density
in terms of SA, CT and p (McDougall et al., 2011).

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:

dynamic_enthalpy_CT_exact  =  dynamic enthalpy                  [ J/kg ]

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;]
dynamic_enthalpy_CT_exact = gsw_dynamic_enthalpy_CT_exact(SA,CT,p)
