Help sound_speed
Sound speed estimate using Coppens equation
Syntax
v = sound_speed(T,D,S) % Matlab & Octave v <- sound_speed(T, D, S) # R
Description
Sound speed estimate using Coppens equation. Range of validity: temperature 0 to 35 °C, salinity 0 to 45 parts per thousand, depth 0 to 4000 m
Inputs
| Input var | Description | Default value |
|---|---|---|
| T | is the temperature in degrees C | Celsius |
| D | is the depth in meters (defaults to 1 m) | m |
| S | is the salinity in part-per-thousand (defaults to 35 ppt) | ppt |
Outputs
| Output var | Description | Units |
|---|---|---|
| v | is sound speed in m/s | m/s |
Notes & assumptions
Example
Matlab & Octave
sound_speed(8,1000,34) v = 1497.7 % m/s
R
sound_speed(8,1000,34) v = 1497.7 # m/s
