Underwater conductivity/temperature/depth (CTD) cast equipment can generate one of many output file types. This is usually dependent on the manufacturer of the equipment. This library seeks to provide a common interface to load many types of CTD casts to determine the sound speed profile.

SspCpp is loosely modeled after the HydrOffice Sound Speed Python library.

These are the currently supported formats, and support for other formats is planned.
