SW_Enthalpy Specific enthalpy of seawater
=========================================================================
USAGE: h = SW_Enthalpy(T,S)
DESCRIPTION:
Specific enthalpy of seawater at atmospheric pressure (0.1 MPa) using Eq. (43)
given by [1] which best fit the data of [2]. The pure water specific
enthalpy equation is a best fit to the data of [3].
Values at temperature higher than the normal boiling temperature are
calculated at the saturation pressure.
INPUT: (all must have same dimensions)
T = temperature [degree C] (ITS-90)
S = salinity [g/kg] (reference-composition salinity)
OUTPUT:
h = specific enthalpy [J/kg]
VALIDITY: 10 < T < 120 C, 0 < S < 120 g/kg
ACCURACY: 1.5
