Units

Oceananigans.Units provides Float64 constants for expressing physical quantities as plain numeric products — no special types, just multiplication to SI units:

julia> using Oceananigans.Units

julia> 5minutes
300.0

julia> 10days
864000.0

julia> 500kilometers
500000.0

Anywhere Oceananigans expects a number in SI units, you can write expressions like Δt = 5minutes or stop_time = 10days for readability.

Available units

Quantity	Constants	Value (SI)
Time	second, seconds	1 s
Time	minute, minutes	60 s
Time	hour, hours	3600 s
Time	day, days	86400 s
Length	meter, meters	1 m
Length	kilometer, kilometers	1000 m
File size	KiB, MiB, GiB, TiB	powers of 1024 bytes

Singular and plural forms are identical (1day == 1days). The file-size constants are useful with the max_filesize keyword of output writers.
