## USAGE:

    uPS = gsw_uPS

## DESCRIPTION:

    The unit conversion factor for salinities (35.16504/35) g/kg (Millero et
    al., 2008).  Reference Salinity SR is uPS times Practical Salinity SP.

## OUTPUT:

    uPS  =  unit conversion factor for salinities                   [ g/kg ]

## EXAMPLE:

    uPS = gsw_uPS

    uPS =

      1.004715428571429
