Gibbs SeaWater Oceanographic Package of TEOS-10
Project description
(This python module is incomplete and should be used with caution!)
Python implementation of the Thermodynamic Equation Of Seawater - 2010 (TEOS-10)
This module is an python alternative to the gsw MatlabTM toolbox. The table below shows some function names in the gibbs library and the corresponding function names in the seawater library.

Caveats
This python module is incomplete and should be used with caution.
The database used in _delta_SA comes from the MatlabTM gsw version.
