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)
