the ionic strength of seawater.

INPUT:

SA =  Absolute Salinity                                         [ g/kg ]

OUTPUT:

ionic_strength  =  ionic strength of seawater                 [ mol/kg ]

EXAMPLE:

SA = [34.7118; 34.8915; 35.0256; 34.8472; 34.7366; 34.7324;]
ionic_strength = gsw_ionic_strength_from_SA(SA)
ionic_strength =
