gsw_SonCl

SP to Chlorinity ratio

Contents

USAGE:

SonCl = gsw_SonCl

DESCRIPTION:

The ratio of Practical Salinity, SP, to Chlorinity, 1.80655 kg/g for
Reference Seawater (Millero et al., 2008).  This is the ratio that was 
used by the JPOTS committee in their construction of the 1978 Practical
Salinity Scale (PSS-78) to convert between the laboratory measurements 
of seawater samples (which were measured in Chlorinity) to Practical 
Salinity.

OUTPUT:

SonCl  =  SP to Chlorinity ratio                           [ (g/kg)^-1 ]

EXAMPLE:

SonCl = gsw_SonCl
SonCl =
  1.80655
