% USAGE:  
%  sigma0_CT_exact = gsw_sigma0_CT_exact(SA,CT)
%
% DESCRIPTION:
%  Calculates potential density anomaly with reference pressure of 0 dbar,
%  this being this particular potential density minus 1000 kg/m^3.  This
%  function has inputs of Absolute Salinity and Conservative Temperature.
%
%  Note that this function uses the full Gibbs function.  There is an 
%  alternative to calling this function, namely gsw_sigma0(SA,CT,p), 
%  which uses the computationally efficient 75-term expression for specific
%  volume in terms of SA, CT and p (Roquet et al., 2015).
%
% INPUT:
%  SA  =  Absolute Salinity                                        [ g/kg ]
%  CT  =  Conservative Temperature (ITS-90)                       [ deg C ]
%
%  SA & CT need to have the same dimensions.
%
% OUTPUT:
%  sigma0_CT_exact  =  potential density anomaly with            [ kg/m^3 ]
%                      respect to a reference pressure of 0 dbar,   
%                      that is, this potential density - 1000 kg/m^3.
