a18_CO3_H2OR Documentation

18O/16O fractionation factor between CO3(2-) and H2O

Description

a18_CO3_H2O() calculates the 18O/16O fractionation factor between carbonate ion CO3(2-) and water.

Usage

a18_CO3_H2O(temp)

Arguments

temp

Temperature (°C).

Details

\alpha^{18}_{CO3(2-)/H2O} = e^{2.39 \times \frac{1000}{T^{2}} - 0.00270}

The equation above and in the function is the uncorrected equation in Beck et al. (2005). They experimentally determined the fractionation factor using BaCO3 precipitation experiments. However, they applied the acid fractionation factor of calcite during the data processing and not that of BaCO3. The acid fractionation factor of BaCO3 is not known accurately, which may result in a bias of up to 1‰ in the calculated 1000lna values.

Value

Returns the 18O/16O fractionation factor.
