R: Ratios of SA, CT and p changes when Frazil Ice Forms...

gsw_frazil_ratios_adiabatic_poly {gsw} | R Documentation

## Ratios of SA, CT and p changes when Frazil Ice Forms (polynomial form)

### Description

Ratios of changes in `SA`, `CT` and `p` that occur when frazil ice forms due to changes in pressure upon the mixture of seawater and ice.

### Usage

    gsw_frazil_ratios_adiabatic_poly(SA, p, w_Ih)

### Arguments

`SA` | Absolute Salinity [ g/kg ]
`p` | sea pressure [dbar], i.e. absolute pressure [dbar] minus 10.1325 dbar
`w_Ih` | initial mass fraction (ice) / (water + ice)

### 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).

### Value

a list containing `dSA_dCT_frazil`, `dSA_dP_frazil` and `dCT_dP_frazil`.
