gsw_SR_from_SP

Reference Salinity from Practical Salinity

Contents

USAGE:

SR = gsw_SR_from_SP(SP)

DESCRIPTION:

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

Reference Salinity from Practical Salinity.

INPUT:

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

OUTPUT:

SR  =  Reference Salinity                                      [ g/kg ]

EXAMPLE:

SP =   [34.5487; 34.7275; 34.8605; 34.6810; 34.5680; 34.5600;]
SR = gsw_SR_from_SP(SP)
SR =
  34.711611927085727
  34.891255045714303
  35.024882197714305
