to_VSMOW: Converting isotope delta from VPDB to VSMOW

In isogeochem: Tools for Stable Isotope Geochemistry

Converting isotope delta from VPDB to VSMOW

Description

to_VSMOW() converts d18O value expressed on the VPDB scale to the VSMOW scale.

Usage

to_VSMOW(d18O_VPDB, eq = "IUPAC")

Arguments

d18O_VPDB	d18O values expressed on the VPDB scale (‰).
eq	Equation used for the conversion. "IUPAC" (default): the IUPAC recommended equation listed in Brand et al. (2014) and Kim et al. (2015). "Coplen83": the equation listed in Coplen et al. (1983) and the Hoefs book.

Details

The IUPAC recommended equation to convert between the scales is:

\delta^{18}O_{VSMOW} = 1.03092 \times \delta^{18}O_{VPDB} + 30.92

Value

Returns the d18O value expressed on the VSMOW scale (‰).
