SW_LatentHeat Latent Heat of vaporization of seawater
=========================================================================
USAGE: hfg = SW_LatentHeat(T,S)
DESCRIPTION:
Latent heat of vaporization of seawater using Eq. (37) given by [1].
The pure water latent heat is a best fit to the data of [2].
INPUT: (all must have same dimensions)
T = temperature [degree C] (ITS-90)
S = salinity [g/kg] (reference-composition salinity)
OUTPUT:
hfg = Latent heat of vaporization [J/kg]
VALIDITY: 0 < T < 200 C; 0 < S < 240 g/kg
ACCURACY: 0.01
