Seawater Reference Salinity (GSW Formulation)

Source: R/sw.R

Compute seawater Reference Salinity (SR), according to the GSW/TEOS-10 formulation with gsw::gsw_SR_from_SP() in the gsw package.

swSR(salinity)

Arguments

salinity

either practical salinity or an oce object that holds salinity in its data slot.

Value

Reference Salinity, SR, in \(g/kg\).
