Spiciness in gsw System, Referenced to 2000 dbar Pressure

Computes seawater spiciness using gsw::gsw_spiciness2() for a reference pressure of 2000 dbar.

swSpiciness2(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 2000 dbar, as defined in the gsw (TEOS-10) system (McDougall et al, 2011) and computed with gsw::gsw_spiciness2().
