gsw_pressure_freezing_CT: Pressure at which Seawater Freezes

In gsw: Gibbs Sea Water Functions

Pressure at which Seawater Freezes

Description

Pressure at which Seawater Freezes

Usage

gsw_pressure_freezing_CT(SA, CT, saturation_fraction = 1)

Arguments

SA	Absolute Salinity [ g/kg ]. The valid range for most 'gsw' functions is 0 to 42 g/kg.
CT	Conservative Temperature [ degC ].
saturation_fraction	fraction of air in water [unitless]

Value

pressure at which freezing will occur [ dbar ]

Implementation Note

This R function uses a wrapper to a C function contained within the GSW-C system as updated 2022-10-11 at https://github.com/TEOS-10/GSW-C with git commit '657216dd4f5ea079b5f0e021a4163e2d26893371'.

The C function uses data from the library/gsw_data_v3_0.mat file provided in the GSW-Matlab source code, version 3.06-11. Unfortunately, this version of the mat file is no longer displayed on the TEOS-10.org website. Therefore, in the interests of making GSW-R be self-contained, a copy was downloaded from http://www.teos-10.org/software/gsw_matlab_v3_06_11.zip on 2022-05-25, the .mat file was stored in the developer/create_data directory of https://github.com/TEOS-10/GSW-R, and then the dataset used in GSW-R was created based on that .mat file.
