eos2teos_geo | R Documentation |
Converts in situ to conservative temperature and practical to absolute salinity (SA). Salinity conversion depends on depth and geographic location.
eos2teos_geo(SP, T, P=0, long=1.e20, lat=1.e20)
SP |
Practical salinity on the practical salinity scale |
T |
In situ temperature in deg. C |
P |
Sea water pressure in dbar |
long |
Longitude in decimal degrees [ 0 ... +360 ] or [ -180 ... +180 ] |
lat |
Latitude in decimal degrees [-90 ... 90] |
Conversion from practical to absolute salinity depends on water density anomaly which is correlated with silicate concentration. This function relies on silicate concentration taken from WOA (World Ocean Atlas) to evaluate density anomaly.
The function returns a data frame containing the following columns:
CT |
Conservative temperature (deg C) |
SA |
Absolute salinity (g/kg) |
