SW_Conductivity    Thermal conductivity of seawater

=========================================================================
USAGE:  k = SW_Conductivity(T,S)

DESCRIPTION:
   Thermal conductivity of seawater at 0.1 MPa given by [1]

INPUT:
   T = temperature [degree C] (ITS-90)
   S = salinity    [g/kg] (reference-composition salinity)

OUTPUT:
   k = thermal conductivity [W/m K]

VALIDITY: 0 < T < 180 C; 0 < S < 160 g/kg
 
ACCURACY: 3.0
