The present R function works with a wrapper to a C function contained within the GSW-C system (Version 3.05-4 dated 2017-08-07, available at https://github.com/TEOS-10/GSW-C, as git commit '5b4d959e54031f9e972f3e863f63e67fa4f5bfec'), which stems from the GSW-Fortran system (https://github.com/TEOS-10/GSW-Fortran) which in turn stems from the GSW-Matlab system (https://github.com/TEOS-10/GSW-Matlab). Consult http://www.teos-10.org to learn more about these software systems, their authorships, and the science behind it all.
A list containing CT_SA
[ K/(g/kg) ], the derivative of
Conservative Temperature with respect to Absolute Salinity,
and CT_pt
[ unitless ], the derivative of
Conservative Temperature with respect to potential temperature.
