teos2eos_chem | R Documentation |
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.
teos2eos_chem(SA, CT, P=0, TA=2300e-6, DIC=2000e-6, NO3=0, SIOH4=0)
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 |
Conversion from absolute to practical 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:
T |
In situ temperature (deg C) |
SP |
Practical salinity (psu) |
