Description

Calculates the first dissociation constant of carbonic acid for a given temperature, salinity and pressure. Calls the K1() function in the seacarb package, which returns units of mol/kg. Units are converted from kg to volume (L) using water density given by the rho() function in seacarb.

Usage

Arguments

temperature

Water temperature in degrees Celsius.

salinity

Salinity in practical salinity units (PSU). Defaults to 0.

pressure
