gsw_deltaSA_atlas

Absolute Salinity Anomaly atlas value

Contents

USAGE:

deltaSA_atlas = gsw_deltaSA_atlas(p,long,lat)

DESCRIPTION:

Calculates the Absolute Salinity Anomaly.
TEOS-10

Absolute Salinity Anomaly atlas value.

INPUT:

p     =  sea pressure                                           [ dbar ]
         ( i.e. absolute pressure - 10.1325 dbar )
long  =  longitude in decimal degrees                     [ 0 ... +360 ]
                                                    or [ -180 ... +180 ]
lat   =  latitude in decimal degrees north               [ -90 ... +90 ]
p, long & lat need to have the same dimensions.

OUTPUT:

deltaSA_atlas  =  Absolute Salinity Anomaly atlas value         [ g/kg ]

EXAMPLE:

p =    [   10;   50;  125;  250;  600; 1000;]
lat =  [    4;    4;    4;    4;    4;    4;]
long = [  188;  188;  188;  188;  188;  188;]
[deltaSA_atlas, in_ocean] = gsw_deltaSA_atlas(p,long,lat)
deltaSA_atlas =              in_ocean =
