SW_BPE    Boiling point elevation of seawater

=========================================================================
USAGE:  BPE = SW_BPE(T,S)

DESCRIPTION:
   Boiling point elevation of seawater using Eq. (36) given in [1] 
   which best fit the data of [2].

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

OUTPUT:
   BPE = boiling point elevation [K]

VALIDITY: 0 < T < 200 C; 0 < S < 120 g/kg
 
ACCURACY: 0.018 K
