% USAGE:  
%  depth = gsw_depth_from_z(z)
%
% DESCRIPTION:
%  Calculates depth from height, z.  Note that in general height is
%  negative in the ocean.   
%
% INPUT:
%  z  =  height                                                       [ m ]
%
% OUTPUT:
%  depth  =  depth                                                    [ m ]
