Cevap_Catm: Atmosphere d18O

In WDNR-Water-Use/CSLSchem: CSLS Water Chemistry Analysis

Description

Calculates the d18O isotope composition of the atmosphere based on Equation 18 and the definition for espilon+ in the explanation for Equation 3 in Gibson et al. (2016). Alternatively, can instead calcuate this value based on Equation 1.10 and the definition for epsilon in the explanation for Equation 1.4 in Mook (2000).

Usage

Cevap_Catm(Cpcpn, alpha, method = "Mook_corrected", k = 1)

Arguments

Cpcpn	isotopic composition of precipitation
alpha	equilibrium isotope fractionation factor (-) at the temperature of the air-water interface in LV form (i.e., alpha > 1).
method	defaults to "Gibson" to use those equations, can also be "Mook".
k	weighted factor which reflects seasonality, ranging from 0.5 for highly seasonal climates to 1 for non-seasonal climates. Defaults to 0.8

Value

Catm - the d18O isotope composition of the atmosphere
