calc_seawater_correction: Kgen seawater composition correction function

In kgen: A Tool for Calculating Stoichiometric Equilibrium Constants (Ks) for Seawater

Kgen seawater composition correction function

Description

Kgen seawater composition correction function

Usage

calc_seawater_correction(
  k,
  sal,
  temp_c,
  magnesium = 0.0528171,
  calcium = 0.0102821,
  method = "r_polynomial"
)

Arguments

k	K to be calculated
sal	Salinity
temp_c	Temperature (Celcius)
magnesium	Magnesium concentration in mol/kgsw. Default is modern seawater (0.0528171). Should be the average magnesium concentration in seawater - a salinity correction is then applied to calculate the magnesium concentration in the sample.
calcium	Calcium concentration in mol/kgsw. Default is modern seawater (0.0102821). Should be the average calcium concentration in seawater - a salinity correction is then applied to calculate the calcium concentration in the sample.
method	string describing method which should be either 'myami', 'myami_polynomial', or 'r_polynomial' (Default: 'r_polynomial').
