## USAGE:

    SA_baltic = gsw_SA_from_SP_Baltic(SP,long,lat)

## DESCRIPTION:

    Calculates Absolute Salinity in the Baltic Sea, from Practical Salinity.
    Note. This programme will only produce Absolute Salinity values for the
    Baltic Sea.

## INPUT:

    SP    =  Practical Salinity  (PSS-78)                       [ unitless ]
    long  =  Longitude in decimal degrees east                [ 0 ... +360 ]
    lat   =  Latitude in decimal degrees north               [ -90 ... +90 ]

## OUTPUT:

    SA_baltic    =  Absolute Salinity in the Baltic Sea             [ g/kg ]

## EXAMPLE:

    SP    = [6.5683; 6.6719; 6.8108; 7.2629; 7.4825; 10.2796;]
    long  = [    20;     20;     20;     20;     20;      20;]
    lat   = [    59;     59;     59;     59;     59;      59;]

    SA_baltic = gsw_SA_from_SP_Baltic(SP,long,lat)

    SA_baltic =

        6.6699
        6.7738
        6.9130
        7.3661
        7.5862
       10.3895
