Calculate Potential Density Anomaly

Description

Function to calculate potential density anomaly from T, S and pressure. Comonly called sigma-theta, potential density anomaly is a useful water mass tracer due to conservation of potential density due to adiabatic processes.

Usage

calc.sigma.theta(S, Tmp, P, P.ref = 0, verbose = T)

Arguments

S

Salinity in PSU

Tmp

Temperature in centigrade

P

Sample pressure in db

P.ref

Reference pressure, typically 0 db (surface).

Examples

calc.sigma.theta(S = 35, Tmp = 8, P = 350)
