USAGE:
[SA_out, CT_out] = gsw_stabilise_SA_CT(SA_in,CT_in,p,{opt_1,opt_2})
DESCRIPTION:
This function stabilises a water column, this is achieved by minimally
adjusting both the Absolute Salinity SA and Conservative Temperature CT
values such that the minimum stability is adjusted to be atleast
1/5th of the square of earth's rotation rate.
This programme requires either the Optimization toolbox or Tomlab CPLEX.
if there are a up to several hundred data points in the cast then
Matlab's Optimization toolbox produces reasonable results, but if there
are thousands of bottles in the cast or the best possible output is
wanted then the CPLEX solver is required. This programme will determine
if Tomlab or the Optimization toolbox is available to the user, if both
are available it will use Tomlab.
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_in = uncorrected Absolute Salinity [ g kg-1 ]
CT_in = uncorrected Conservative Temperature (ITS-90) [ deg C ]
p = sea pressure [ dbar ]
(ie. absolute pressure - 10.1325 dbar)
OPTIONAL:
opt_1 = Nsquared_lowerlimit [ s-2 ]
Note. If Nsquared_lowerlimit is not supplied, a default minimum
stability of 1 x 10^-9 s^-2 will be applied.
or,
opt_1 = longitude in decimal degrees [ 0 ... +360 ]
or [ -180 ... +180 ]
opt_2 = latitude in decimal degrees north [ -90 ... +90 ]
SA & t need to have the same dimensions.
p may have dimensions 1x1 or Mx1 or 1xN or MxN, where SA & CT_in are MxN.
opt_1 equal to Nsquared_lowerlimit, if provided, may have dimensions 1x1
or (M-1)x1 or 1xN or (M-1)xN, where SA_in & CT_in are MxN.
opt_1 equal to long & opt_2 equal to lat, if provided, may have
Sdimensions 1x1 or (M-1)x1 or 1xN or (M-1)xN, where SA_in & CT_in are MxN.
OUTPUT:
SA_out = corrected stabilised Absolute Salinity [ g kg-1 ]
CT_out = corrected Conservative Temperature (ITS-90) [ deg C ]
