USAGE:
SA_baltic = gsw_SA_from_SP_Baltic(SP,long,lat)
DESCRIPTION:
Calculates Absolute Salinity in the Baltic Sea, from Practical Salinity.
Note. This programme will only produce Absolute Salinity values for the
Baltic Sea.
INPUT:
SP = Practical Salinity (PSS-78) [ unitless ]
long = Longitude in decimal degrees east [ 0 ... +360 ]
lat = Latitude in decimal degrees north [ -90 ... +90 ]
OUTPUT:
SA_baltic = Absolute Salinity in the Baltic Sea [ g/kg ]
EXAMPLE:
SP = [6.5683; 6.6719; 6.8108; 7.2629; 7.4825; 10.2796;]
long = [ 20; 20; 20; 20; 20; 20;]
lat = [ 59; 59; 59; 59; 59; 59;]
SA_baltic = gsw_SA_from_SP_Baltic(SP,long,lat)
SA_baltic =
