ka | R Documentation |
Calculates air side gas transfer velocity (ka).
ka(compound, T, u, method = "JO10")
compound |
character string of compound of interest |
T |
vector o temperature in degrees Centigrade |
u |
vector of wind speed in meters per second at 10 meters height |
method |
optional string determining kw parameterisation to use, see XXX for list default is 'JO10' (Johnson 2010) |
By default implements the gas transfer velocity parametrisation proposed by Johnson 2010, which is a modified form of that presented by Jeffrey et al., 2010 (Ja10) Other options are: Liss 1973, windspeed only parameterisation (L73) Duce et al, 1991 (D91), theoretical ka Mackay and Yeun 1983 (MY83), empirical fit to wind tunnel study Jeffrey et al 2010 (JE10), unmodified, a parameterisation of NOAA COARE
For full details of parameterisations, choice of drag coefficient and diffusivity calculations see Johnson 2010
