In USGS-R/loadflex: Models and Tools for Watershed Flux Estimates

Provide the conversion factor which, when multiplied by flow * conc, gives the flux in the desired units

Description

By dividing rather than multiplying by this factor, the output of this function may also be used to convert from flux units to the units of the product of flow and concentration.

Usage

flowconcToFluxConversion(flow.units, conc.units, load.rate.units,
  attach.units = FALSE)

Arguments

flow.units	character. The units of flow.
conc.units	character. The units of concentration.
load.rate.units	character. The units of flux.
attach.units	logical. If TRUE, the conversion factor is returned with units attached.

Value

numeric, or unitted numeric if unitted=TRUE. The conversion factor.

Examples

flowconcToFluxConversion("cfs", "g/L", "kg/d") # 2446.589
library(unitted); u(10, "ft^3 s^-1") * u(2, "mg L^-1") * 
  flowconcToFluxConversion("cfs", "mg/L", "kg/d", attach.units=TRUE) # u(48.9 ,"kg d^-1")
