Expand description

Specific volume of sea water (75-term polynomial approximation)

Calculates specific volume from Absolute Salinity, Conservative Temperature and pressure, using the computationally-efficient polynomial expression for specific volume (Roquet et al., 2014).

Arguments

  • sa: Absolute Salinity [g kg-1]
  • ct: Conservative Temperature (ITS-90) [deg C]
  • p: sea pressure [dbar] (i.e. absolute pressure - 10.1325 dbar)

Returns

  • specvol: specific volume [m3 kg-1]

Note that the coefficients v(i,j,k) follow the convention in the original paper, which is different from the convention used in the C-library.
