calculate_conservative_mixing

Source: R/geochemical_dataset_utilities.R

Function to calculate the mixing ratio of a perfect-conservative mixture between fresh and sea water from a given geochemical dataset.

calculate_convervative_mixing(gdata, fresh.water = NULL,
  sea.water = NULL)

Arguments

gdata

A data.frame with the concentrations of the major ions
fresh.water

The chemical composition of fresh water
sea.water

The chemical composition of sea water

Value

This function returns a list with the following entries:

  • f.sea: A vector with the mixing ratio

  • mix: Matrix with the results of conservative mixing between fresh and sea water (in mmol/L)

  • react: Matrix with the concentrations due to reactions (in mmol/L)
