R: Latent heat of evaporation

gsw_latentheat_evap_t {gsw} | R Documentation

## Latent heat of evaporation

### Description

Latent heat of evaporation

### Usage

    gsw_latentheat_evap_t(SA, t)

### Arguments

`SA` | Absolute Salinity [ g/kg ]
`t` | in-situ temperature (ITS-90) [ 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).

### Value

latent heat of evaporation [ J/kg ]
