is thermal expansion negative here? We need it to be positive, or at least we use a positive value in the linear equation of state...
I'm pretty sure this is correct --- it becomes negative at T=S=Z=0. Or rather at S=Z=0 and T=4 ?
ok right!
The "linear assumption" is especially bad in polar regions, where there is fresh, cold water.
I should have chosen a more normal value like
julia> thermal_expansion(20, 35, 0, eos) / eos.reference_density
0.0002581441656573064
The definition of
thermal_expansion
andhaline_contraction
are "non-standard", because they are multiplied by reference density. Onmain
:This is approximately 1e3 larger than their usual values:
The same is true for the TEOS10 equation of state.
