Sea water freezing temperature calculator

Function returns the freezing temperature (°C) of seawater given salinity and pressure.

SEAWATER_FREEZETEMP approximates the freezing temperature (°C) of
sea water.

NOT VALID FOR FRESH WATER! This model is only valid for 4 < S_ppt < 40.

INPUTS: (can be arrays)
S_psu = salinity of water in practical salinity units (close to ppt).
P_Pa = hydrostatic pressure in pascals.
Valid pressure range is up to 500000 Pa or 500 kPa or ~ 50 atm within
0.00°C. However, for 27 < S < 35 psu, the model may be adequate for
pressures above this range.

OUTPUT:
T_f = freezing temperature in degrees celsius.

EXAMPLE:
seawater_freezetemp(40,bar2Pa(50))

ans =

-2.5886
