water_density: Estimate Water Density

In salah31416/RLimnology: RLimnology

Description

This function estimate water density determined by three parameters: temperature, salinity and concentration of total solid.

Usage

water_density(wt, tds = 0, tss = 0, sal = 0, sg = 2.5,
  method = c("gill_m", "tilton"))

Arguments

wt	a numeric vector of water temperature (Degrees Celsius)
tds	a numerical vector of total dissolved solids (g/m^3)
tss	a numerical vector of total suspend solids (g/m^3)
sal	a numerical vector of salinity (Practical Salinity Scale Units)
sg	specific gravity of the total suspended solid (Dimensionless)
method	gill_m or tilton

Value

A numeric vector of water densities in kg/m^3
