gsw_SA_from_SP_Baltic: Convert from Practical Salinity to Absolute Salinity (Baltic)

Description

Calculate Absolute Salinity from Practical Salinity, pressure, longitude, and latitude.

Usage

gsw_SA_from_SP_Baltic(SP, longitude, latitude)

Arguments

SP

Practical Salinity (PSS-78) [ unitless ]

longitude

longitude in decimal degrees, positive to the east of Greenwich. (This is called long in the TEOS-10 Matlab code.)

latitude

latitude in decimal degrees, positive to the north of the equator. (This is called lat in the TEOS-10 Matlab code.)

Value

Absolute Salinity [ g/kg ]

Details

If SP is a matrix and if its dimensions correspond to the lengths of longitude and latitude, then the latter are converted to analogous matrices with expand.grid.

The present R function works with a wrapper to a C function contained within the GSW-C system (Version 3.05-4 dated 2017-08-07, available at https://github.com/TEOS-10/GSW-C, as git commit '5b4d959e54031f9e972f3e863f63e67fa4f5bfec'), which stems from the GSW-Fortran system (https://github.com/TEOS-10/GSW-Fortran) which in turn stems from the GSW-Matlab system (https://github.com/TEOS-10/GSW-Matlab).
