D48() calculates the equilibrium carbonate D48 value for a given temperature.

Usage

D48(temp, eq)

Arguments

temp

Carbonate growth temperature (°C).

eq

Equation used for the calculation.

  • "Fiebig21": the CDES90 calibration of Fiebig et al. (2021).

  • "Swart21": the CDES90 "PBLM1" calibration in Swart et al. (2021).

Value

Returns the carbonate equilibrium D48 value expressed on the CDES90 scale (‰).

Details

"Fiebig21":

$$\Delta_{48, CDES90} = 1.028 \times (6.002 \times \frac{1}{T} - 1.299 \times \frac{10^{4}}{T^{2}} + 8.996 \times \frac{10^{6}}{T^{3}} - 7.423 \times \frac{10^{8}}{T^{4}}) + 0.1245$$

"Swart21":

$$\Delta_{48, CDES90} = 0.0142 \times \frac{10^{6}}{T^{2}} + 0.088$$
