MOM_temperature_conv module reference¶

Detailed Description¶

Temperature conversions¶

This module has functions that convert potential temperature to conservative temperature and the reverse, as described in the TEOS-10 manual. This code was originally derived from their corresponding routines in the gsw code package, but has had some refactoring so that the answers are more likely to reproduce across compilers and levels of optimization. A complete discussion of the thermodynamics of seawater and the definition of conservative temperature can be found in IOC et al. (2010).
