gsw_rho_ice

in-situ density of ice

Contents

USAGE:

rho_ice = gsw_rho_ice(t,p)

DESCRIPTION:

Calculates in-situ density of ice from in-situ temperature.  
Note that the output, rho_ice, is density, not density anomaly;
that is, 1000 kg/m^3 is not subracted from it.

INPUT:

t  =  in-situ temperature (ITS-90)                            [ deg C ]
p  =  sea pressure                                             [ dbar ]
        ( i.e. absolute pressure - 10.1325 dbar )
p may have dimensions 1x1 or Mx1 or 1xN or MxN, where t is MxN.

OUTPUT:

rho_ice  =  in-situ density (not density anomaly)            [ kg/m^3 ]

EXAMPLE:

t = [-10.7856; -13.4329; -12.8103; -12.2600;  -10.8863;  -8.4036;]
p = [     10;      50;     125;     250;     600;    1000;]
rho_ice = gsw_rho_ice(t,p)
