Calculate oxygen mass transfer coefficient using equations in Thiebault et al. 2008. Output is used to estimate the volumetric reaeration coefficient for ecosystem metabolism.
calckl(temp, sal, atemp, wspd, bp, height = 10)
Returns numeric value for oxygen mass transfer coefficient (m d-1).
numeric for water temperature (C)
numeric for salinity (ppt)
numeric for air temperature (C)
numeric for wind speed (m/s)
numeric for barometric pressure (mb)
numeric for height of anemometer (meters)
This function is used within the ecometab
function and should not be used explicitly.
