In yaps: Track Estimation using YAPS (Yet Another Positioning Solver)

Description

Calculate speed of sound from water temperature, salinity and depth Based on H. Medwin (1975) Speed of sound in water: A simple equation for realistic parameters. (https://doi.org/10.1121/1.380790)

Usage

tempToSs(temp, sal, depth = 5)

Arguments

temp	Water temperature in degrees Celcius
sal	Water slinity in parts per thousand (promille)
depth	Depth in meters - default = 5 m - can typically be ignored

Value

Vector of estimated speed of sound in water.

Examples

water_temp <- rnorm(100, 20, 2)
ss <- tempToSs(temp=water_temp, sal=0, depth=5)
