R: First Derivatives of Entropy

gsw_entropy_first_derivatives {gsw} | R Documentation

## First Derivatives of Entropy

### Description

First Derivatives of Entropy

### Usage

    gsw_entropy_first_derivatives(SA, CT)

### Arguments

`SA` | Absolute Salinity [ g/kg ]
`CT` | Conservative Temperature [ degC ]

### Details

The present R function works with a wrapper to a C function contained within the GSW-C system (Version 3.05-4 dated 2017-08-07, available at https://github.com/TEOS-10/GSW-C, as git commit '5b4d959e54031f9e972f3e863f63e67fa4f5bfec'), which stems from the GSW-Fortran system (https://github.com/TEOS-10/GSW-Fortran) which in turn stems from the GSW-Matlab system (https://github.com/TEOS-10/GSW-Matlab). Consult http://www.teos-10.org to learn more about these software systems, their authorships, and the science behind it all.

### Value

a list containing `eta_SA` [ (J/(kg*degC) / (g/kg) ], the derivative of entropy wrt Absolute Salinity, and `eta_CT` [ (J/(kg*degC^2) ], the derivative of entropy wrt Conservative Temperature.
