gsw_SA_from_SP_Baltic

Calculates Absolute Salinity in the Baltic Sea

Contents

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 =
    6.6699
    6.7738
    6.9130
    7.3661
    7.5862
   10.3895
