Description

Get Brunt-Vaisala frequency (N2), vertical turbulent diffusivity (Kv)

Usage

1
getn2kv(dat, g = 9.7963)

Arguments

dat

input data.frame pre-processed with getwithin

g

gravity constant, m2 s-1

Details

Brunt-Vaisala frequency and the vertical turbulent diffusivity are appended for each row where estimable in dat. Estimates are based on equations 3 and 4 in Staehr et al. 2012. Estimated values for each bin are in reference to the current bin and the bin immediately below. As such, values are not estimated for the deepest depth bin.

Value

Input data frame with two additional columns for n2 (s-2) and kv (m2 hr-1)
