gsw_SA_from_SP: Convert from practical salinity to absolute salinity

Description

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

Usage

gsw_SA_from_SP(SP, p, longitude, latitude)

Arguments

SP

Practical Salinity (PSS-78) [ unitless ]

p

sea pressure [ dbar ]

longitude

longitude in decimal degrees [ 0 to 360 or -180 to 180]

latitude

latitude in decimal degrees [ -90 to 90 ]

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.
