Compressibility analysis tool is a framework of applications, developed for data-analysis purposes at Tallinn Univeristy of Technology's Department of Cybernetics by Andrea Giudici, within the Project Baltic Way. The aim of this program is to analyze the compressibility behaviors of the surface layer of the Baltic Sea in the area of the Gulf of Finland.

A mid-to-long term goal of this project is to redefine the actual definition of Compressibility, defined classically as "the relative weight of the potential component of a velocity field, if the field is decomposed into its solenoidal and potential components (with zero divergence and curl, respectively)", in order to correlate it with a timespan over which the compressibility is measured.

Short term goals are to produce so-called "Compressibility maps" to show the behavior of this quantity over different timespans. The results are produced starting from trajectories produced using the TRACMASS software by Prof. Döös.

It is compiled using Microsoft Visual Studio C# and it is released under the MIT License terms.
