OceanRasterConversions.jl

This package converts and computes ocean variables that are saved as Raster data structures using GibbsSeaWater.jl. Rasters.jl provides excellent reading, writing and manipulation of geospatial data. Typically, the salt and temperature variables from ocean models or observational data are practical salinity and potential temperature so conversions must be to the TEOS-10 standard variables of absolute salinity and conservative temperature to accurately calculate further variables like seawater density.

Using the package

The package is installed using Julia's package manager

julia> ]
(@v1.8) pkg> add OceanRasterConversions

then press backspace to exit the package manager. To start using the package you will also need to have Rasters.jl installed (in the same manner as above but replace OceanRasterConversions with Rasters). To then use the packages type

julia> using Rasters, OceanRasterConversions

into the repl. To see a list of the exported functions from OceanRasterConversions.jl see the documentation.
