Calculate the CO2 solubility coefficient

Source: R/calc_K0.R
calc_K0.Rd

Calculates the Weiss (1974) CO2 solubility coefficient, K0, for water at the supplied temperature, salinity, atmospheric pressure, and water depth. The depth and atmospheric pressure terms apply a pressure correction for the total pressure at the sensor.

Usage

calc_K0(
  temp_water,
  water_depth_m = 0,
  atmo_press = 1,
  salinity = 0,
  waterDepth_m = lifecycle::deprecated()
)

Arguments

temp_water

Numeric vector. Water temperature in degrees Celsius.

water_depth_m

Numeric vector. Water depth in meters. Defaults to 0.

atmo_press

Numeric vector. Atmospheric pressure in atm. Defaults to standard atmosphere (1).

salinity

Numeric vector. Salinity in practical salinity units. Defaults to freshwater (0).

waterDepth_m

[Deprecated] Use water_depth_m instead.

Value

Numeric vector of K0 values in mol/(kg atm).
