Bottom.water.O2: Bottom water oxygen

In DanielReedOcean/COOLBEANS: Coastal Ocean Oxygen Linked to Benthic Exchange and Nutrient Supply model

Description

Calculate the bottom water oxygen concentration for a given set of conditions. This is the chief function of the COOLBEANS package with others aiding in calculating benthic oxygen demand and the vertical exchange coefficient required by this function.

Usage

Bottom.water.O2(O2.surf, BOD, Exchange, L)

Arguments

O2.surf	Oxygen concentration in surface waters (mol/m3)
BOD	Benthic oxygen demand (mol O2/[m2 y])
Exchange	Vertical exchange coefficient (/y)
L	Thickness of bottom water layer (m)

Value

Return bottom water oxygen concentration (mol/m3)

Examples

##---- Should be DIRECTLY executable !! ----
##-- ==>  Define data, use random,
##--	or do  help(data=index)  for the standard data sets.

## The function is currently defined as
function (O2.surf, BOD, Exchange, L) 
{
    O2.bottom <- O2.surf - BOD/(Exchange * L)
    return(O2.bottom)
  }
