USAGE:
CT = gsw_CT_from_enthalpy(SA,h,p)
DESCRIPTION:
Calculates the Conservative Temperature of seawater, given the Absolute
Salinity, specific enthalpy, h, and pressure p. The specific enthalpy
input is the one calculated from the computationally-efficient 75-term
expression for specific volume in terms of SA, CT and p (Roquet et al.,
2015).
Note that the 75-term equation has been fitted in a restricted range of
parameter space, and is most accurate inside the "oceanographic funnel"
described in McDougall et al. (2003). The GSW library function
"gsw_infunnel(SA,CT,p)" is avaialble to be used if one wants to test if
some of one's data lies outside this "funnel".
INPUT:
SA = Absolute Salinity [ g/kg ]
h = specific enthalpy [ J/kg ]
p = sea pressure [ dbar ]
( i.e. absolute pressure - 10.1325 dbar )
SA & h need to have the same dimensions.
p may have dimensions 1x1 or Mx1 or 1xN or MxN, where SA & h are MxN.
OUTPUT:
CT = Conservative Temperature ( ITS-90) [ deg C ]
EXAMPLE:
SA = [34.7118; 34.8915; 35.0256; 34.8472; 34.7366; 34.7324;]
h = [1.15103e5; 1.14014e5; 0.92180e5; 0.43255e5; 0.33087e5; 0.26970e5;]
p = [ 10; 50; 125; 250; 600; 1000;]
CT = gsw_CT_from_enthalpy(SA,h,p)
CT =
