R: Potential density anomaly referenced to 0 dbar

gsw_sigma0 {gsw} | R Documentation

## Potential density anomaly referenced to 0 dbar

### Description

This uses the 48-term density equation, and returns potential density referenced to a pressure of 0 dbar, minus 1000 kg/m^3.

### Usage

    gsw_sigma0(SA, CT)

### Arguments

`SA` | Absolute Salinity [ g/kg ]
`CT` | Conservative Temperature [ deg C ]

### Value

potential density anomaly [ kg/m^3 ]
