gsw_SP_from_SR

Practical Salinity from Reference Salinity

Contents

USAGE:

SP = gsw_SP_from_SR(SR)

DESCRIPTION:

Calculates Practical Salinity from Reference Salinity.  Since SP is
non-negative by definition, this function changes any negative 
input values of SP to be zero.

Practical Salinity from Reference Salinity.

INPUT:

SR  =  Reference Salinity                                      [ g/kg ]

OUTPUT:

SP  =  Practical Salinity  (PSS-78)                        [ unitless ]

EXAMPLE:

SR =   [34.5487; 34.7275; 34.8605; 34.6810; 34.5680; 34.5600;]
SP = gsw_SP_from_SR(SR)
SP =
  34.386552667080714
  34.564513505458834
  34.696889296869848
