CraigGordon: Craig-Gordon model to estimate evaporation isotope values

Description Usage Arguments Details Value

Description

Implements the Craig-Gordon isotope evaporation model for an individual isotope of water, hydrogen or oxygen. Units of the output delta value, δ_{E}, are provided in decimal form.

Usage

1
CraigGordon(dL, dA, aELV, eEVL, eK, hn)

Arguments

dL

Delta value of a liquid (e.g., lake), δ_{L} [-].

dA

Delta value for the "free" atmosphere δ_{A}, [-].

eEVL

Vapor-liquid equilibrium fractionation factor, ε^*_{VL} [-].

hn

Relative humidity normalized to saturation vapor pressure at the lake-atmosphere interface, h_{N} [-].

aeLV

Equilibrium fractionation factor between liquid and vapor phases, α^*_{LV} [-].

frac_diff

Kinetic equilibrium fractionation factor, ε^κ, [-].

Details

The Craig-Gordon model (similar to that defined by Gat et al. (2001)):

δ_{E} = \frac{(δ_{L}/α^*_{LV}) - h_{N}δ_{A} + ε^*_{VL} + ε^{κ}}{(1 - h_{N}) - ε^{κ}}
