Convert from Practical Salinity to Absolute Salinity (Baltic)
Calculate Absolute Salinity from Practical Salinity, pressure, longitude, and latitude.
gsw_SA_from_SP_Baltic(SP, longitude, latitude)
SP |
Practical Salinity (PSS-78) [ unitless ] |
longitude |
longitude in decimal degrees, positive to the east of Greenwich. (This
is called |
latitude |
latitude in decimal degrees, positive to the north of the equator. (This
is called |
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).
