% USAGE:  dpth = sw_dpth(P,LAT)
%
% DESCRIPTION:
%    Calculates depth in metres from pressure in dbars.
%
% INPUT:  (all must have same dimensions)
%   P   = Pressure    [db]
%   LAT = Latitude in decimal degress north [-90..+90]
%         (lat may have dimensions 1x1 or 1xn where P(mxn).
%
% OUTPUT:
%  dpth = depth [metres]
