Calculate sigma or sigma-theta

1. SYNOPSIS

s = rho(T, S )

2. DESCRIPTION

Calculates density anomally sigma or theta sigma.

This function was called rho and not sigma because there is already a sigma function in Matlab.

3. PARAMETERS



P

Vector of pressure (in dbar).



T

Vector of temperature or potential temperature (in deg C).



S

Vector of salinity (in ppm).

4. RETURNS



s

Sigma (in kg/m^3) relative to 1000.0 kg/m^3.
