## USAGE:

    pt = gsw_pt_from_entropy(SA,entropy)

## DESCRIPTION:

    Calculates potential temperature with reference pressure pr = 0 dbar and
    with entropy as an input variable.

    potential temperature from entropy.

## INPUT:

    SA       =   Absolute Salinity                                  [ g/kg ]
    entropy  =   specific entropy                                  [ deg C ]

    SA & entropy need to have the same dimensions.

## OUTPUT:

    pt   =  potential temperature                                  [ deg C ]
            with reference sea pressure (pr) = 0 dbar.
    Note. The reference sea pressure of the output, pt, is zero dbar.

## EXAMPLE:

    SA = [34.7118; 34.8915; 35.0256; 34.8472; 34.7366; 34.7324;]
    entropy = [400.3892; 395.4378; 319.8668; 146.7910; 98.6471; 62.7919;]

    pt = gsw_pt_from_entropy(SA,entropy)

    pt =

      28.420954825949291
