[MITgcm-support] TEOS-10?

[Martin Losch]

Hi Marion,

Ali is right. The current implementation ***only*** computes density following TEOS-10, but does not take into account details of the physics at the surface boundary, where the intepretation of the model variable THETA as conservative temperature (\Theta) would require some small adjustments. If you find the time, it would be great if you could contribute that part via a pull request. The current implementation makes a very small, but systematic error if you use TEOS10.
