Hi,

I need to calculate some horizontal pressure gradients. To do this I’ve been calculating pressure by integrating density from a particular reference depth. I’m not sure I’m doing it correctly because of the problems with doing @iin in reverse – see ../fu_2006/msg00478.html .

Has anyone figured out the right way to do this so that dp/dx is 0 at the reference depth?

Thanks for your help,

Jaci
