esmtools.carbon.schmidt¶

esmtools.carbon.schmidt(t)[source]¶

Computes the dimensionless Schmidt number.

Note

The polynomials used are for SST ranges between 0 and 30C and a salinity of 35.

Parameters:	t (xarray object) – SST (degC)
Returns:	Schmidt number (dimensionless)
Return type:	Sc (xarray object)
