View source: R/d18O_evap_functions.R

Description

Calculates the total fractionation factor based on the definition of epsilon for equation 5 in Krabbenhoft et al. (1990). Note that while d18O_evap_isotope_frac calculates alpha in LV form (i.e, alpha+ > 1), the equation in Krabbenhoft et al. (1990) assumes alpha is in V/L form (i.e., alpha* < 1).

Usage

1
d18O_evap_total_frac(alpha, delta_epsilon)

Arguments

alpha

equilibrium isotope fractionation factor (-) at the temperature of the air-water interface in LV form (i.e., alpha > 1).

delta_epsilon

kinetic fractionation factor (-)

Value

epsilon - the total fractionation factor (-)
