This function is used to estimate the sound speed using Coppens equation
Usage
sound_speed(temperature, D = NULL, S = NULL)
Arguments
- temperature
The temperature in degrees C
- D
(optional) The depth in meters (defaults to 1 m)
- S
The salinity in part-per-thousand (defaults to 35 ppt)
Value
The sound speed in m/s
Note
Range of validity: temperature 0 to 35 °C, salinity 0 to 45 parts per thousand, depth 0 to 4000 m
