R: First Derivatives of Potential Enthalpy

gsw_pot_enthalpy_ice_freezing_first_derivatives {gsw} | R Documentation

## First Derivatives of Potential Enthalpy

### Description

First Derivatives of Potential Enthalpy

### Usage

    gsw_pot_enthalpy_ice_freezing_first_derivatives(SA, p)

### Arguments

`SA` | Absolute Salinity [ g/kg ]
`p` | sea pressure [dbar], i.e. absolute pressure [dbar] minus 10.1325 dbar

### 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 `pot_enthalpy_ice_freezing_SA` [ (J/kg)/(g/kg) ], the derivative of potential enthalpy with respect to Absolute Salinity, and `pot_enthalpy_ice_freezing_p` [ unitless ], the derivative of Conservative Temperature with respect to potential temperature. (Note that the second quantity is denoted `pot_enthalpy_ice_freezing_P` in the documentation for the Matlab function.)
