Seawater density calculation

Usage

ebase_rho(temp, salt, P)

Arguments

temp: numeric for temperature (C)
salt: numeric for salinity (PSU)
P: numeric for pressure above atmospheric (dbar)

Value

Rho (kg/m^3)

Details

Density of seawater is calculated according to the internationally accepted (UNESCO) equations. The standard error of the equation is 3.6 x 10-3 kg/m-3.
