SW_Osmotic    Osmotic coefficient of seawater

SW_Osmotic    Osmotic coefficient of seawater
=========================================================================
USAGE:  phi = SW_Osmotic(T,S)

DESCRIPTION:
   Osmotic coefficient of seawater using Eq.(49) given by [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:
   phi = osmotic coefficient   [-]

VALIDITY: 0 < T < 200 C, 10 < S < 120 g/kg
 
ACCURACY: 1.4
