gsw_rho_first_derivatives

SA, CT and p partial derivatives of density
(75-term equation)

Contents

USAGE:

[rho_SA, rho_CT, rho_P] = gsw_rho_first_derivatives(SA,CT,p)

DESCRIPTION:

Calculates the three (3) partial derivatives of in situ density with 
respect to Absolute Salinity, Conservative Temperature and pressure.  
Note that the pressure derivative is done with respect to pressure in 
Pa, not dbar.  This function uses 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 ]
CT  =  Conservative Temperature                                [ deg C ]
p   =  sea pressure                                             [ dbar ]
       (ie. absolute pressure - 10.1325 dbar)
SA & CT need to have the same dimensions.
p may have dimensions 1x1 or Mx1 or 1xN or MxN, where SA & CT are MxN.

OUTPUT:

rho_SA  =  partial derivatives of density with respect to      
              Absolute Salinity                  [ (kg/m^3)(g/kg)^-1 ] 
rho_CT  =  partial derivatives of density with respect to               
              Conservative Temperature                  [ kg/(m^3 K) ]
rho_P   =  partial derivatives of density with respect to              
              pressure in Pa                           [ kg/(m^3 Pa) ]

p =  [     10;      50;     125;     250;     600;    1000;]
