## USAGE:

    pot_enthalpy = gsw_pot_enthalpy_from_pt(SA,pt)

## DESCRIPTION:

    Calculates the potential enthalpy of seawater from potential
    temperature (whose reference sea pressure is zero dbar).

    Click for a more detailed description of calculating
    potential enthalpy from potential temperature.

## INPUT:

    SA   =  Absolute Salinity                                       [ g/kg ]
    pt   =  potential temperature (ITS-90)                         [ deg C ]

    SA & pt need to have the same dimensions.

## OUTPUT:

    pot_enthalpy  =  potential enthalpy                             [ J/kg ]

## EXAMPLE:

    SA = [34.7118; 34.8915; 35.0256; 34.8472; 34.7366; 34.7324;]
    pt = [28.7832; 28.4209; 22.7850; 10.2305;  6.8292;  4.3245;]

    pot_enthalpy = gsw_pot_enthalpy_from_pt(SA,pt)

    pot_enthalpy =
