eos2teos_chem | R Documentation |
Converts in situ temperature to conservative temperature and practical to absolute salinity (SA). Salinity conversion depends on total alkalinity as well as the concentrations of dissolved inorganic carbon, nitrate and silicate.
eos2teos_chem(SP, T, P=0, TA=2300e-6, DIC=2000e-6, NO3=0, SIOH4=0)
SP |
Practical salinity on the practical salinity scale |
T |
In situ temperature in deg. C |
P |
Sea water pressure in dbar |
TA |
Total alkalinity, in mol/kg, default is 2300 µmol/kg |
DIC |
Dissolved inorganic carbon concentration in mol/kg, default is 2000 µmol/kg |
NO3 |
Total nitrate concentration in mol/kg, default is 0 |
SIOH4 |
Total silicate concentration in mol/kg, default is 0 |
Conversion from practical to absolute salinity depends on carbonate system parameters and ion concentration which mostly affect water density anomalies.
The function returns a data frame containing the following columns:
CT |
Conservative temperature (deg C) |
SA |
Absolute salinity (g/kg) |
