Function gsw::volume::sound_speed
source · pub fn sound_speed(sa: f64, ct: f64, p: f64) -> Result<f64>
Expand description
Sound speed in seawater (75-term polynomial approximation)
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
c
: Sound speed [m s-1]
Notes
- Pressure is implicitly converted to Pa to obtain speed in m s-1;
