[ferret_users]:potential density and temperature



Hi all,

I've got some Temperature and salinity data (from CARS2006).

Id'like to compute potential density, so i just have to compute rho
using rho_un with the potential temperature. is it ok?

so i compute potential temperature with THETA_FO, but when i compare rho
and rho_pot i don't find much différence.

my script is:

use temperature_cars2006a.nc
use salinity_cars2006a.nc
let salt=mean[d=2]
let temp=mean[d=1]
let rho=rho_un(salt,temp,Z[G=poTEMP])
let potemp=THETA_FO(SALT,TEMP,Z[G=TEMP],0)
let rhop=rho_un(salt,potemp,Z[G=poTEMP])


 what do you think of it?
whats wrong with my script? may by reference level?

thanks

Xavier
