package org.geotools.nature
Algorithms related to the observations of natural phenomenons. Most algorithms in this package are
derived from empirical measurements; their results are approximative. Algorithms include:
- Sea water properties (density, sound velocity, fusion temperature,
etc.) computed from salinity, temperature and pression
using algorithms published by UNESCO.
- Values relative to earth calendar, like tropical year length.
- etc.

Tropical year length is computed
using formula by Laskar (1986). Synodic month length is
computed using formula by Chapront-Touze and Chapront (1988).
Those formulas was taken from the following adress:
