gsw_kappa_ice

Contents

USAGE:

kappa_t_ice = gsw_kappa_t_ice(t,p)

DESCRIPTION:

Calculates the isentropic compressibility of ice.

INPUT:

t   =  in-situ temperature (ITS-90)                            [ deg C ]
p   =  sea pressure                                             [ dbar ]
        ( ie. absolute pressure - 10.1325 dbar )

p may have dimensions 1x1 or Mx1 or 1xN or MxN, where t is MxN.

OUTPUT:

kappa_t_ice  =  Isentropic compressibility of ice                [ 1/Pa ]
 Note. The output units are 1/Pa not 1/dbar.

EXAMPLE:

t = [-10.7856; -13.4329; -12.8103; -12.2600;  -10.8863;  -8.4036;]
p = [      10;       50;      125;      250;       600;     1000;]

kappa_ice = gsw_kappa_ice(t,p)
