Sound speed according to Mackenzie et al. (1981)

Description

Calculate speed of sound in seawater based on MacKenzie (1981) The empirical equation generally holds validity for a temperature range between 2 and 30 degrees Celsius, Salinities between 25 and 40 parts per thousand and a depth range between 0 and 8000 m

Usage
