eclipticalToEquatorial

Convert from ecliptical to equatorial coordinates, using
equations 8.3 and 8.4 of reference 1, or, equivalently,
equations 12.3 and 12.4 of reference 2.

Supports the analysis of Oceanographic data, including 'ADCP'
measurements, measurements made with 'argo' floats, 'CTD' measurements,
sectional data, sea-level time series, coastline and topographic data, etc.
Provides specialized functions for calculating seawater properties such as
potential temperature in either the 'UNESCO' or 'TEOS-10' equation of state.
Produces graphical displays that conform to the conventions of the
Oceanographic literature. This package is discussed extensively by
Kelley (2018) "Oceanographic Analysis with R" <doi:10.1007/978-1-4939-8844-0>.
