In pmcelhany/aws: Instant Ocean Chemistry Caclulator

function to minimize to determine the amount of acid to add for target alk and dic

Description

used as input function for optimize() in addAcid()

Usage

findAlk(acid, targetAlk, initAlk, initDIC, pCO2, acidConc, targetS, targetT)

Arguments

acid	volume of acid added (L); this is the optimization parameter
targetAlk	target alkalinity (mol/kg)
initAlk	intial alkalinity (mol/kg)
initDIC	intial DIC (mol/kg)
pCO2	atmospheric pCO2 (uatm)
acidConc	acid concentration (N)
targetS	target salinity (psu)
targetT	target temperature (degrees C)

Value

squared difference between target alkalinty and alkalinity with particular input parameters
