teos2eos_chem: Convert temperature and salinity from TEOS-10 to EOS-80

In seacarb: Seawater Carbonate Chemistry

Convert temperature and salinity from TEOS-10 to EOS-80

Description

Converts conservative temperature to in situ temperature and absolute salinity to practical salinity (SP). Salinity conversion depends on total alkalinity as well as on the concentrations of dissolved inorganic carbon, nitrate and silicate.

Usage

teos2eos_chem(SA, CT, P=0, TA=2300e-6, DIC=2000e-6, NO3=0, SIOH4=0)

Arguments

SA	Absolute salinity in g/kg
CT	Conservative temperature in degrees 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

Details

Conversion from absolute to practical salinity depends on carbonate system parameters and ion concentration which mostly affect water density anomalies.

Value

The function returns a data frame containing the following columns:

T	In situ temperature (deg C)
SP	Practical salinity (psu)

Examples

   # Calculate in situ temperature and practical salinity of a sample with 
   # Absolute salinity of 35 g/kg, Conservative temperature of 18 deg C,
   # at 0 dbar and Total alkalinity of 0.00234 mol/kg and DIC of 0.00202 mol/kg
   f <- teos2eos_chem(SA=35, CT=18, P=0, TA=0.00234, DIC=0.00202)
   T <- f$T     # insitu temperature
   SP <- f$SP     # Practical salinity
