Convert pressure data in millibar to seawater depth in meters

Convert pressure data in millibar to seawater depth in meters

millibarToSeawater(x, latitude = NULL)

Arguments

x	A vector of pressure data, units of millibar
latitude	The latitude at which the seawater pressure data were collected.

Value

A vector of seawater depth in meters

Details

Convert water pressure data, in units of millibar, to the equivalent depth (or elevation above the pressure sensor if you prefer that perspective) of seawater in meters.

Examples

millibarToSeawater(2039.604, latitude = 33.72) # Should return 20.25 (meters)
#> [1] 20.25
