Calculate temperature-compensated Specific Conductance from a two-point calibration (single high reference and single low reference) for CT logger data

Description

This function reads in a dataframe containing electrical conductivity logs from a conductivity-temperature logger and calculates specific conductance from in situ electrical conductivity and temperature readings.

Usage

CT_two_cal(
  data,
  date,
  temp,
  EC.logger,
  high.ref,
  low.ref,
  high.ref.temp,
  low.ref.temp,
  startHigh,
  endHigh,
  startLow,
  endLow,
  EC.cal = FALSE
)

Arguments

data	The dataframe containing raw Electrical Conductivity values
date	Date and time column used to filter out calibration times
temp	Temperature at which electrical conductivity values were logged
EC.logger	Electrical conductivity recorded by logger at time of calibration
high.ref	The high range conductivity calibration solution specific conductance value, uS/cm at 25degC
low.ref	The low range conductivity calibration solution specific conductance value, uS/cm at 25degC
high.ref.temp	High range in situ temperature, value from a secondary probe
low.ref.temp	Low range in situ temperature, value from a secondary probe
startHigh	Date and time at the start of the high range calibration
endHigh	Date and time at the end of the high range calibration
startLow	Date and time at the start of the low range calibration
endLow	Date and time at the end of the low range calibration
EC.cal	Logical parameter indicating whether the logger should be calibrated to an electrical conductivity value, then TRUE, or a specific conductance value, then FALSE. Default = FALSE.

Value

The original dataframe with the calibrated Electrical Conductivity values of CT logger data
