Detailed Description

NEMO equation of state

Fabien Roquet and colleagues developed this equation of state using a simple polynomial fit to the TEOS-10 equation of state expressions for specific, for efficiency when used with a non-Boussinesq ocean model. This particular equation of state is a balance between an accuracy that matches the TEOS-10 density to better than observational uncertainty with a polynomial form that can be evaluated quickly despite having 55 terms.
