watdepth: watdepth

In AquaEnv: Integrated Development Toolbox for Aquatic Chemical Model Generation

Description

PUBLIC function: calculates the depth (in m) from the gauge pressure p (or the total pressure P) and the latitude (in degrees: -90 to 90) and the atmospheric pressure Pa (in bar)

Usage

watdepth(P=Pa, p=pmax(0, P-Pa), lat=0, Pa=1.013253)

Arguments

P	total pressure in bar, standard: 1 atm (at the sea surface)
p	gauge pressure in bar (total pressure minus atmospheric pressure), standard: 0 (at the water surface)
lat	latitude in degrees: -90 to 90, standard: 0
Pa	atmospheric pressure in bar, standard: 1 atm (at sea level)

Value

water depth d in meters
