gsw_sigma3 {gsw} | R Documentation |
This uses the 75-term density equation, and returns potential density referenced to a pressure of 3000 dbar, minus 1000 kg/m^3.

Conservative Temperature [ degC ] |
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).
