[Roquet et al. (2014)](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ocemod.2015.04.002) where the density $\rho$ is determined from the summation of a vertical reference profile $r_0$ and a residual function or density anomaly $r$. That is, $\rho(S,T,z) = r_0(z) + r(S,T,z)$.

Up until now the kernel only computed the density anomaly, and was missing the vertical reference profile. At the ocean surface this isn’t a problem, as $r_0(z=0) = 0$ and so the computed density was correct. However, $r_0(z)>0$ below the ocean surface, and at relatively deep depths, this value can be significant. For example, at 100 m depth this value is 0.46443 kg/m$^3$ and at 500 m depth this value is 2.31175 kg/m$^3$, see the figure below.
