USAGE:
[rho_CT25, in_funnel) = gsw_rho_CT25(SA,CT,p)
DESCRIPTION:
Calculates in-situ density from Absolute Salinity and Conservative
Temperature, using the computationally-efficient 25-term expression
for density in terms of SA, CT and p (McDougall et al., 2010).
Note that potential density with respect to reference pressure, pr, is
obtained by calling this function with the pressure argument being pr
(i.e. "gsw_rho_CT25(SA,CT,pr)").
INPUT:
SA = Absolute Salinity [ g/kg ]
CT = Conservative Temperature [ deg C ]
p = sea pressure [ dbar ]
(i.e. 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_CT25 = in-situ density [ kg m^-3 ]
in_funnel = 0, if (SA, CT and p) are outside the "funnel"
= 1, if (SA, CT and p) are inside the "funnel"
Note. The term "funnel" describes the range of SA, CT and p over which
the error in the fit of the computationally-efficient 25-term
expression for density was calculated (McDougall et al., 2010).
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;]
[rho_CT25, in_funnel) = gsw_rho_CT25(SA,CT,p)
rho_CT25 = gsw_rho_CT25(SA,CT,p)
rho_CT25 = in_funnel =
