gravity

Compute \(g\), the acceleration due to gravity, as a function of
latitude.

Supports the analysis of Oceanographic data, including 'ADCP'
measurements, measurements made with 'argo' floats, 'CTD' measurements,
sectional data, sea-level time series, coastline and topographic data, etc.
Provides specialized functions for calculating seawater properties such as
potential temperature in either the 'UNESCO' or 'TEOS-10' equation of state.
Produces graphical displays that conform to the conventions of the
Oceanographic literature. This package is discussed extensively by
Kelley (2018) "Oceanographic Analysis with R" <doi:10.1007/978-1-4939-8844-0>.
