2. Sound Speed Calculation Workflow

This workflow calculates sound speed in seawater using thermodynamic equations.

Workflow Steps:

1. Calculate Absolute Salinity - Convert practical salinity to absolute salinity
2. Calculate Conservative Temperature - Convert in-situ temperature to conservative temperature
3. Calculate Sound Speed - Compute speed of sound in seawater

Implementation:

## Initialize client
client = OceanClient(
    "https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/34/OceanGSW-Tool",
    "<your-api-key>"
)

if not await client.connect():
    print("connection failed")
    exit()

## Input: Seawater properties
input_params = {
    'SP': [35.0, 5.0],           # Practical salinity (PSU)
    't': [15.0, 10.0],           # In-situ temperature (°C)
    'p': [1000.0, 1000.0],       # Pressure (dbar)
    'lon': [120.0, 165.0],       # Longitude (degrees East)
    'lat': [30.0, 45.0]          # Latitude (degrees North)
}

## Step 1: Calculate absolute salinity (SA)
result = await client.session.call_tool(
    "gsw_example_absolute_salinity",
    arguments={
        "SP": input_params['SP'],
        'p': input_params['p'],
        'lon': input_params['lon'],
        'lat': input_params['lat']
    }
)

result_data = client.parse_result(result)
SA_result = result_data["st"]
print("Absolute Salinity:")
for i, sa in enumerate(SA_result):
    ()


result =  client.session.call_tool(
    ,
    arguments={
        : SA_result,
        : input_params[],
        : input_params[]
    }
)

result_data = client.parse_result(result)
CT_result = result_data[]
()
 i, ct  (CT_result):
    ()


result =  client.session.call_tool(
    ,
    arguments={
        : SA_result,
        : CT_result,
        : input_params[]
    }
)

result_data = client.parse_result(result)
sound_speed_result = result_data[][]

()
 i, speed  (sound_speed_result):
    ()
    ()

 client.disconnect()
