% gsw_alpha_wrt_t_ice                  thermal expansion coefficient of ice 
%                                       with respect to in-situ temperature
%==========================================================================
%
% USAGE:  
%  alpha_wrt_t_ice = gsw_alpha_wrt_t_ice(t,p)
%
% DESCRIPTION:
%  Calculates the thermal expansion coefficient of ice with respect to  
%  in-situ temperature.
%   
% INPUT:
%  t  =  in-situ temperature (ITS-90)                             [ deg C ]
%  p  =  sea pressure                                              [ dbar ]
%         ( i.e. absolute pressure - 10.1325 dbar )
%
%  p may have dimensions 1x1 or Mx1 or 1xN or MxN, where t is MxN.
%
% OUTPUT:
%  alpha_wrt_t_ice  =  thermal expansion coefficient of ice with respect      
%                      to in-situ temperature                       [ 1/K ]
