ctdcal.oxy_fitting.oxy_umolkg_to_ml

ctdcal.oxy_fitting.oxy_umolkg_to_ml(oxy_umol_kg, sigma0)[source]

Convert dissolved oxygen from units of micromol/kg to mL/L.

Parameters
  • oxy_umol_kg (array-like) – Dissolved oxygen in units of [umol/kg]

  • sigma0 (array-like) – Potential density anomaly (i.e. sigma - 1000) referenced to 0 dbar [kg/m^3]

Returns

oxy_mL_L – Dissolved oxygen in units of [mL/L]

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)
