masstransfer: Calculate the mass transfer rate of oxygen at the air-sea...

In gnishihara/gnnlab: Commonly Used Functions for the Lab

Calculate the mass transfer rate of oxygen at the air-sea interface. This version ignores barometric pressure.

Description

See Crusius and Wanninkhof 2003 Limnology and Oceanography 48 for details

Usage

masstransfer(windspeed, temperature, salinity, oxygen, height = 1)

Arguments

windspeed	is the windspeed in m / s
temperature	is the water surface temperature in Celsius
salinity	is the salinity in PSU
oxygen	is the dissolved oxygen concentration at the surface in mg / L
height	= 1 is the height of the wind sensor in m

Value

a vector of fluxes with units g / m2 / hr. Positive values indicate flux out of the water surface and negative values indicate flux into the water surface.
