USAGE:
[v_SA, v_CT, v_P] = gsw_specvol_first_derivatives(SA,CT,p)
DESCRIPTION:
Calculates the three (3) partial derivatives of specific volume 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:
v_SA = partial derivative of specific volume [ (m^3/kg)(g/kg)^-1 ]
with respect to Absolute Salinity
v_CT = partial derivative of specific volume [ m^3/(kg K) ]
with respect to Conservative Temperature
v_P = partial derivative of specific volume [ m^3/(kg Pa) ]
with respect to pressure in Pa
EXAMPLE:
SA = [34.7118; 34.8915; 35.0256; 34.8472; 34.7366; 34.7324;]
CT = [28.8099; 28.4392; 22.7862; 10.2262; 6.8272; 4.3236;]
p = [ 10; 50; 125; 250; 600; 1000;]
[v_SA, v_CT, v_P] = gsw_specvol_first_derivatives(SA,CT,p)
