skeleton_weight: Compute the skeleton weight with the buoyant weight

In EcoNum/coral.growth: Use of buoyant weight to compute the growth rate

Description

The buoyant weight is a simply tools. This method reduces the stress during the manipulation of the coral's nubbins. The buoyant weight is used to calculate the skeleton weight. The evolution of skeleton weight can bu used to monitor the growth of the coral's nubbins.

Usage

skeleton_weight(buoyant_weight, S, T, P = 0, rho_aragonite = 2930)

Arguments

buoyant_weight	buoyant weight in gramme
S	salinity in PSU
T	temperature in degree Celsius
P	Hydrostatic pressure in bar (surface = 0)
rho_aragonite	density of the aragonite

Value

skeleton weight

Examples

skeleton_weight(buoyant_weight = 25, S = 35, T = 25, P = 0, rho_aragonite = 2930)
