gsw_SP_from_SK

Practical Salinity from Knudsen Salinity

Contents

USAGE:

SP = gsw_SP_from_SK(SK)

DESCRIPTION:

Calculates Practical Salinity from Knudsen Salinity
TEOS-10
Click for a more detailed description of calculating
Practical Salinity from Knudsen Salinity.

INPUT:

SK  =  Knudsen Salinity                      [ parts per thousand, ppt ]

OUTPUT:

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

EXAMPLE:

SK =   [34.5487; 34.7275; 34.8605; 34.6810; 34.5680; 34.5600;]
SP = gsw_SP_from_SK(SK)
SP =
  34.548342096952908
  34.727295637119113
  34.860409847645435
