## USAGE:

    specvol_anom_CT_exact = gsw_specvol_anom_CT_exact(SA,CT,p)

## DESCRIPTION:

    Calculates specific volume anomaly from Absolute Salinity, Conservative
    Temperature and pressure.  The reference value of Absolute Salinity is
    SSO and the reference value of Conservative Temperature is equal to
    0 degrees C.

    Note that this function uses the full Gibbs function. There is an
    alternative to calling this function, namely gsw_specvol_anom(SA,CT,p),
    which uses the computationally efficient 48-term expression for density
    in terms of SA, CT and p (McDougall et al., 2013).

    Note that the 48-term equation has been fitted in a restricted range of
    parameter space, and is most accurate inside the "oceanographic funnel"
    described in McDougall et al. (2013).  The GSW library function
    "gsw_infunnel(SA,CT,p)" is avaialble to be used if one wants to test if
    some of one's data lies outside this "funnel".

## INPUT:

    SA  =  Absolute Salinity                                        [ g/kg ]
    CT  =  Conservative Temperature                                [ deg C ]
    p   =  sea pressure                                             [ dbar ]
           ( i.e. absolute pressure - 10.1325 dbar )

    SA & CT need to have the same dimensions.
    p may have dimensions 1x1 or Mx1 or 1xN or MxN, where SA & CT are MxN.

## OUTPUT:

    specvol_anom_CT_exact  =  specific volume anomaly            [ kg m^-3 ]

## EXAMPLE:

    SA = [34.7118; 34.8915; 35.0256; 34.8472; 34.7366; 34.7324;]
    CT = [28.8099; 28.4392; 22.7862; 10.2262;  6.8272;  4.3236;]
    p =  [     10;      50;     125;     250;     600;    1000;]

    specvol_anom_CT_exact = gsw_specvol_anom_CT_exact(SA,CT,p)
