gsw_sigma3: Potential density anomaly referenced to 3000 dbar

Description

This uses the 48-term density equation, and returns potential density referenced to a pressure of 3000 dbar, minus 1000 kg/m^3.

gsw_sigma3(SA, CT)

Arguments

SA

Absolute Salinity [ g/kg ]

CT

Conservative Temperature [ deg C ]

Value

potential density anomaly with reference pressure 3000 dbar [ kg/m^3 ]
