corrConcDilution: corrConcDilution

In bgctw/RespChamberProc: Processing Data from Respiration Chambers

corrConcDilution

Description

Calculate concentration corrected for dilution with water vapor

Usage

corrConcDilution(ds, colConc = "CO2_Avg", 
    colVapour = "H20_Avg", isUpdateOnNonFiniteVapour = TRUE)

Arguments

ds	data frame with each row one observations, and respective columns
colConc	column name of CO2 concentration [ppm]
colVapour	column name of water vapour concentration [ppt]
isUpdateOnNonFiniteVapour	set to FALSE to not correct concentrations for records where vapour is not finite << in the default, the concentration will be NA

Details

If CO2 concentration is measured per moist air, this function will calculate the concentration\ per dry air.

Value

numeric vector (nrow ds): concentration of CO2 per dry air [ppm]
