!!****  *QSATW * - function to compute saturation vapor humidity from
!!                 temperature
!!
!!    PURPOSE
!!    -------
!       The purpose of this function is to compute the saturation vapor 
!     pressure from temperature over saline seawater
!      
!
!!**  METHOD
!!    ------
!!       Given temperature T (PT), the saturation vapor pressure es(T)
!!    (FOES(PT)) is computed by integration of the Clapeyron equation
!!    from the triple point temperature Tt (XTT) and the saturation vapor 
!!    pressure of the triple point es(Tt) (XESTT), i.e  
!!    The reduction due to salinity is compute with the factor 0.98 (reduction of 2%)
!!     
!!         es(T)= 0.98*EXP( alphaw - betaw /T - gammaw Log(T) )
!!  
!!     with :
!!       alphaw (XALPW) = LOG(es(Tt))+ betaw/Tt + gammaw Log(Tt) 
!!       betaw (XBETAW) = Lv(Tt)/Rv + gammaw Tt
!!       gammaw (XGAMW) = (Cl -Cpv) /Rv
!!
!!      Then, the specific humidity at saturation is deduced.
