## First Derivatives of Conservative Temperature for Freezing Water (Polynomial version)

### Description

First Derivatives of Conservative Temperature for Freezing Water (Polynomial version)

### Usage

    gsw_CT_freezing_first_derivatives_poly(SA, p, saturation_fraction = 1)

### Arguments

`SA` | Absolute Salinity [ g/kg ]
`p` | sea pressure [dbar], i.e. absolute pressure [dbar] minus 10.1325 dbar
`saturation_fraction` | fraction of air in water [unitless]

### 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 `CTfreezing_SA` [ K/(g/kg) ], the derivative of Conservative Temperature with respect to Absolute Salinity at constant potential temperature, and `CTfreezing_p` [ unitless], the derivative of Conservative Temperature with respect to pressure at constant Absolute Salinity.
