!==========================================================================
elemental function gsw_sigma3 (sa, ct) 
!==========================================================================
!
!  Calculates potential density anomaly with reference pressure of 3000 dbar,
!  this being this particular potential density minus 1000 kg/m^3.  This
!  function has inputs of Absolute Salinity and Conservative Temperature.
!
! sa     : Absolute Salinity                               [g/kg]
! ct     : Conservative Temperature                        [deg C]
! 
! gsw_sigma3  : potential density anomaly with reference pressure of 3000
