pyteos_air 0.4.5 (beta)

This package provides python bindings to the atmospheric component of TEOS-10. Also includes expanded metorological quantities like the equivalent potential temperature.

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:

System Message: ERROR/3 (<string>, line 26)

Unexpected indentation.

f2py -c --help-fcompiler

System Message: WARNING/2 (<string>, line 27)

Block quote ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.

to find the list of available compilers and then compile:

python setup.py build --fcompiler=g95

System Message: WARNING/2 (<string>, line 29)

Definition list ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.

if 'g95' was in the list.
