RSKderivesoundspeed.m
Arguments
Input
-Required-
RSK
-Optional-
soundSpeedAlgorithm
: UNESCO (default), DelGrosso or Wilson
Output
RSK
The function computes the speed of sound using temprature, salinity and pressure data. It provides three methods: UNESCO (Chen and Millero), Del Grosso and Wilson, among which UNESCO is default.
Example:
rsk = RSKderivesoundspeed(rsk,'soundSpeedAlgorithm','DelGrosso')
