Python bindings to TEOS-10

This package is still in beta testing phase and some of its functions are likely to evolve over time.

Includes:

• Sea-Ice-Water (SIA) Library 3.0 + simple code fixes (for easy compilation)

• An extra module layer Liq_Ice_Air_5a.F90, Liq_Ice_Air_5b.F90, Liq_Ice_Air_5c.F90 and Liq_Ice_Air_5d.F90 with the temperature, the entropy, the potential temperature, the equivalent potential temperature and the pseudo equivalent potential temperature valid over the whole region of validity of TEOS-10.

• Two other extra modules Liq_Air_4d.F90 and Ice_Air_4d.F90 that are very similar to Liq_Air_4b.F90 and Ice_Air_4b.F90 but where one can specify a maximum saturation mass fraction in the definition of the Gibbs function. This allows to compute the equivalent potential temperature in a clean manner.

• A framework to add python bindings to the Fortran version of TEOS-10 with basic examples.

This package provides a simple way to import the TEOS-10 SIA Library into python. The current beta version offers a very basic interface to the library. Future versions will include a better interface and a more extensive physical description of the different routines available.

NOTE:

This package requires a Fortran 90 compiler. Sometimes numpy.disutils will not find the installed Fortran compiler and will return an error. It this happens, download the source code and run:

$ f2py -c --help-fcompiler

To find the list of available compilers and then compile:

$ python setup.py build --fcompiler=gnu95

if ‘gnu95’ was in the list.
