ctdfjorder.CTD.CTD.add_conservative_temperature(self) → None

Calculates and adds conservative temperature to the CTD data using the TEOS-10 formula.

This method computes the conservative temperature, which is a more accurate measure of heat content in seawater compared to potential temperature.

Raises:

NoSamplesError – When the function is called on a CTD object with no data.

Notes

The gsw.CT_from_t function from the Gibbs SeaWater (GSW) Oceanographic Toolbox is utilized for this calculation. More information about this function can be found at the TEOS-10 website.

This method adds a new column for conservative temperature in the dataset.

Examples

ctd_data = CTD('example.csv')
ctd_data.add_conservative_temperature()
# This will add a new column with conservative temperature values to the dataset, calculated using the TEOS-10 formula.
