R: Practical Salinity from Preformed Salinity

gsw_SP_from_Sstar {gsw} | R Documentation

## Practical Salinity from Preformed Salinity

### Description

Practical Salinity from Preformed Salinity

### Usage

    gsw_SP_from_Sstar(Sstar, p, longitude, latitude)

### Arguments

`Sstar` | Preformed Salinity [ g/kg ]
`p` | sea pressure [dbar], i.e. absolute pressure [dbar] minus 10.1325 dbar
`longitude` | longitude in decimal degrees, positive to the east of Greenwich. (This is called `long` in the TEOS-10 Matlab code.)
`latitude` | latitude in decimal degrees, positive to the north of the equator. (This is called `lat` in the TEOS-10 Matlab code.)

### Details

The present R function works with a wrapper to a C function contained within the GSW-C system (Version 3.05-4 dated 2017-08-07, available at https://github.com/TEOS-10/GSW-C, as git commit '5b4d959e54031f9e972f3e863f63e67fa4f5bfec'), which stems from the GSW-Fortran system (https://github.com/TEOS-10/GSW-Fortran) which in turn stems from the GSW-Matlab system (https://github.com/TEOS-10/GSW-Matlab).

### Value

Practical Salinity (PSS-78) [ unitless ]
