ctdcal.oxy_fitting.oxy_ml_to_umolkg¶
- ctdcal.oxy_fitting.oxy_ml_to_umolkg(oxy_mL_L, sigma0)[source]¶
Convert dissolved oxygen from units of mL/L to micromol/kg.
- Parameters
oxy_mL_L (array-like) – Dissolved oxygen in units of [mL/L]
sigma0 (array-like) – Potential density anomaly (i.e. sigma - 1000) referenced to 0 dbar [kg/m^3]
- Returns
oxy_umol_kg – Dissolved oxygen in units of [umol/kg]
- Return type
array-like
Notes
Conversion value 44660 is exact for oxygen gas and derived from the ideal gas law. (c.f. Sea-Bird Application Note 64, pg. 6)
