R: Seawater temperature from salinity and density

swTSrho {oce} | R Documentation

## Seawater temperature from salinity and density

### Description

Compute in-situ temperature, given salinity, density, and pressure.

### Usage

    swTSrho(salinity, density, pressure = NULL, eos = getOption("oceEOS",
      default = "gsw"))

### Arguments

`salinity` | in-situ salinity [PSU]
`density` | in-situ density or sigma value [kg/m^3]
`pressure` | in-situ pressure [dbar]
`eos` | equation of state to be used, either `"unesco"` or `"gsw"` (ignored at present).

### Details

Finds the temperature that yields the given density, with the given salinity and pressure. The method is a bisection search with temperature tolerance 0.001 degC.

### Value

In-situ temperature [degC] in the ITS-90 scale.
