Release 0.5.0 / 20 October 2026

The variation of the specific heat ratio and the speed of sound in air with temperature, pressure, humidity, and CO2 concentration

Environmental sound-speed model. The design tool requires temperature, relative humidity, local pressure and CO2 and rejects inputs outside its declared range; calculation precision is not instrument accuracy.
