void pism::ocean::GivenTH::subshelf_salinity_freeze_on ( const Constants c,
double  sea_water_salinity,
double  sea_water_potential_temperature,
double  thickness,
double *  shelf_base_salinity 
)
private

Compute basal salinity in the basal freeze-on case.

In this case we assume that the temperature gradient at the shelf base is zero:

\[ T_{\text{grad}} = 0. \]

Please see pointwise_update() for details.

In this case the coefficients of the quadratic equation for the basal salinity are:

\begin{align*} A &= -b_{0}\,\gamma_T\,c_{pW} \\ B &= \gamma_S\,L+\gamma_T\,c_{pW}\,\left(\Theta^W-b_{2}\,h-b_{1}\right) \\ C &= -\gamma_S\,S^W\,L\\ \end{align*}
