Computes seawater spiciness using gsw::gsw_spiciness1() for a reference pressure of 1000 dbar.

Usage

swSpiciness1(salinity, temperature, pressure, longitude, latitude)

Arguments

salinity

either salinity, or an oce object that contains salinity, temperature, pressure, longitude and latitude.

temperature

in-situ temperature (ignored if salinity is an oce object)

pressure

seawater pressure in dbar (ignored if salinity is an oce object)

longitude, latitude

observation location (ignored if salinity is an oce object).

Value

seawater spiciness with respect to a reference pressure of 1000 dbar, as defined in the gsw (TEOS-10) system (McDougall et al, 2011) and computed with gsw::gsw_spiciness1().
