K_CO2: K\_CO2

In AquaEnv: Integrated Development Toolbox for Aquatic Chemical Model Generation

Description

PUBLIC function: calculates the dissociation constant of CO2

Usage

K_CO2(S, t, p=0, SumH2SO4=NULL, SumHF=NULL, k1k2="lueker", khf="dickson", khso4="dickson")

Arguments

S	salinity in practical salinity units (i.e. no unit)
t	temperature in degrees centigrade
p	gauge pressure (total pressure minus atmospheric pressure) in bars
SumH2SO4	total sulfate concentration in mol/kg-solution (calculated from S if not supplied)
SumHF	total fluoride concentration in mol/kg-solution (calculated from S if not supplied)
k1k2	"lueker", "roy", or "millero": specifies the S, t, dependency to be used. Default is "lueker". (see section below for references)
khf	S, t relation for K\_HF needed for scale conversion: either "dickson" (default, Dickson1979a) or "perez" (Perez1987a)
khso4	S, t relation for K\_HSO4 needed for scale conversion: either "dickson" (default, Dickson1990) or "khoo" (Khoo1977)

Value

the dissociation constant of CO2 in mol/kg-solution on the free proton pH scale
