R: Compute Absolute Salinity from Density, etc

gsw_SA_from_rho {gsw} | R Documentation

## Compute Absolute Salinity from Density, etc

### Description

Compute Absolute Salinity from Density, etc

### Usage

    gsw_SA_from_rho(rho, CT, p)

### Arguments

`rho` | seawater density [ kg/m^3 ]
`CT` | Conservative Temperature [ degC ]
`p` | sea pressure [dbar], i.e. absolute pressure [dbar] minus 10.1325 dbar

### 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

Absolute Salinity [ g/kg ]
