oboro: An equiribrium cloud condensation model by using Gibbs free energy minimization method

In oboro project, we are now developing an equiribrium cloud condensation model by using Gibbs free energy minimization method, which is applied for the Jovian atmospheres.

About "oboro"

The source codes are written by Fortran90 which is used for programming language. These codes are available only for Fujitsu Fortran compiler, the other compiler such as g95, gfortran, and Intel Fortran Compiler are not tested.

The source codes depend on SSL II(math library of Fujitsu Fortran Compiler) and netCDF. The source codes also depend on GFD Dennou Club tools such as dcl, netCDF, gt4f90io.
