Calculate oxygen mass transfer coefficient

Calculate oxygen mass transfer coefficient using equations in Thiebault et al. 2008. Output is used to estimate the volumetric reaeration coefficient for ecosystem metabolism.

Usage

calckl(temp, sal, atemp, wspd, bp, height = 10)

Arguments

temp: numeric for water temperature (C)
sal: numeric for salinity (ppt)
atemp: numeric for air temperature (C)
wspd: numeric for wind speed (m/s)
bp: numeric for barometric pressure (mb)
height: numeric for height of anemometer (meters)

Value

Returns numeric value for oxygen mass transfer coefficient (m d-1).

Details

This function is used within the ecometab function and should not be used explicitly.
