Detailed Description¶

Roquet_rho equation of state¶

Fabien Roquet and colleagues developed this equation of state using a simple polynomial fit to the TEOS-10 equation of state, for efficiency when used in the NEMO ocean model. Fabien Roquet also graciously provided the MOM6 team with the original code implementing this equation of state, although it has since been modified and extended to have capabilities mirroring those available with other equations of state in MOM6. 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 52 terms.
