Seawater Conservative Temperature (GSW Formulation)
Description
Compute seawater Conservative Temperature, according to the GSW/TEOS-10 formulation.
Usage
swConservativeTemperature(
salinity,
temperature = NULL,
pressure = NULL,
longitude = NULL,
latitude = NULL
)
Arguments
salinity |
either practical salinity (in which case |
temperature |
in-situ temperature ( |
pressure |
pressure (dbar) |
longitude |
longitude of observation. |
latitude |
latitude of observation. |
Details
If the first argument is an oce
object, then values for salinity,
etc., are extracted from it, and used for the calculation, and the
corresponding arguments to the present function are ignored.
The conservative temperature is calculated using the TEOS-10 function gsw::gsw_CT_from_t from the gsw package.
Value
Conservative temperature in degrees Celcius.

The related TEOS-10 quantity “absolute salinity” may be computed
with swAbsoluteSalinity()
. For a ctd object, conservative
temperature may also be recovered by indexing as e.g.
ctd[["conservativeTemperature"]]
or ctd[["CT"]]
.
