Short summary
TEOS-10 is the present international standard for thermodynamic properties of water, ice, seawater and humid air recommended for geosciences by leading international organisations such as UNESCO/IOC and IUGG. TEOS-10 incorporates an extended manifold of different experimental data for those substances, collected from publications over many decades, in an unprecedentedly compact, consistent, comprehensive and accurate way.
