gsw_frazil_properties_potential function

Properties of Frazil ice i.t.o. potential enthalpy

Calculation of Absolute Salinity, Conservative Temperature, and ice mass fraction based on bulk Absolute Salinity, bulk potential enthalpy, and pressure

gsw_frazil_properties_potential(SA_bulk, h_pot_bulk, p)

Arguments

• SA_bulk: Absolute Salinity of a combination of seawater and ice [ g/kg ]
• h_pot_bulk: potential enthalpy of a mixture of seawater and ice [ J/kg ]
• p: sea pressure [dbar], i.e. absolute pressure [dbar] minus 10.1325 dbar

Returns

a list containing SA_final, h_final and w_Ih_final.

Implementation Note

This R function uses a wrapper to a C function contained within the GSW-C system as updated 2022-10-11 at https://github.com/TEOS-10/GSW-C with git commit 657216dd4f5ea079b5f0e021a4163e2d26893371.

The C function uses data from the library/gsw_data_v3_0.mat

file provided in the GSW-Matlab source code, version 3.06-11. Unfortunately, this version of the mat file is no longer displayed on the TEOS-10.org website. Therefore, in the interests of making GSW-R be self-contained, a copy was downloaded from http://www.teos-10.org/software/gsw_matlab_v3_06_11.zip on 2022-05-25, the .mat file was stored in the developer/create_data directory of https://github.com/TEOS-10/GSW-R, and then the dataset used in GSW-R was created based on that .mat file.
