%
% USAGE:  svan = sw_svan(S,T,P)
%
% DESCRIPTION:
%   Specific Volume Anomaly calculated as
%        svan = 1/sw_dens(s,t,p) - 1/sw_dens(35,0,p)
%   Note that it is often quoted in literature as 1e8*units
%
% INPUT:  (all must have same dimensions)
%   S = salinity    [psu      (PSS-78) ]
%   T = temperature [degree C (ITS-90)]
%   P = Pressure    [db]
%       (alternatively, may have dimensions 1*1 or 1*n where n is columns in S)
%
% OUTPUT:
%  svan = Specific Volume Anomaly  [m^3 kg^-1]
