convert_RtoS {marelac} | R Documentation |
Estimates the salinity of seawater from conductivity, temperature and pressure. The equation is valid over ranges: temperature from -2 to 35 degrees C, pressure from 0 to 1000 bar, and salinity from 2 to 42.

R |
Conductivity ratio, the conductivity at (S, t, P) divided by the conductivity at S = 35, t = 15, p = 0 [-] |
t |
Temperature, degrees C |
p |
Gauge (or applied) pressure, the pressure referenced against the local atmospheric pressure, bar |
P |
True pressure, bar |
The salinity.
The conductivity ratio for Salinity = 40.0000, t = 40, p = 1000 is 1.888091.
