HOW TO:
Calculate the parameters that define temperature and salinity dependences of the conditional equilibrium constants ? at arbitrary [Ca2+] and [Mg2+].

(1) open command line
(2) navigate to folder (cd ~/path/to/folder/with/MyAMI/code)
(3) run MyAMI (python MyAMI_V1.py)
(4) follow instructions
(5) output is saved to file [OUTPUT_INTERACTIVE.txt]

HOW TO:
Call Python code from MATLAB to calculate conditional and thermodynamic equilibrium constants at a given [Ca2+], [Mg2+], temperature and salinity.

(1) open Matlab
(2) navigate to folder that contains [PyMyAMI.m]
(3) >>PITZERpath = '~/path/to/folder/of/MyAMI/code/Pitzer.py';
(4) >>T = 20;
(5) >>S = 35;
(6) >>Ca = 0.0102821 * S/35;
(7) >>Mg = 0.0528171* S/35;
(8) >>B = xB*S / 1.80655 * 0.0000219;   
(9) >>[K] = PyMyAMI(PITZERpath,num2str(T),num2str(S),num2str(Ca),num2str(Mg));

REQUIREMENTS: (1) you need Python (2.7.5 verified); (2) you need the standard Python modules ?NumPy? and ?SciPy?; (3) have fun.
