Hi Bin Zhao,

It seems that your email address has changed so I've subscribed you to
MITgcm-support list with the new address.  If you want to make any
further changes to your list settings, please see:

In regards to your question, MITgcm supports multiple EoS models (eg.
linear, JMD95, UNESCO) and the code for them is located primarily in:

  MITgcm/model/src/ini_eos.F
  MITgcm/model/src/pressure_for_eos.F
  MITgcm/model/src/find_rho.F
  MITgcm/model/src/find_alpha.F

As the code shows, changes in temperature and/or salinity can result in
changes in density which will then have an effect on pressures,
velocities, etc...
