"cw" for using K1 and K2 from Cai & Wang (1998), "l" from Lueker et al. (2000), "m02" from Millero et al. (2002), "m06" from Millero et al. (2006), "m10" from Millero (2010), "mp2" from Mojica Prieto et al. (2002), "p18" from Papadimitriou et al. (2018), "r" from Roy et al. (1993), "sb21" from Shockman & Byrne (2021), "s20" from Sulpis et al. (2020), and "w14" from Waters et al. (2014). "x" is the default flag; the default value is then "l", except if T is outside the range 2 to 35oC and/or S is outside the range 19 to 43. In these cases, the default value is "w14". |
kf |
"pf" for using Kf from Perez and Fraga (1987) and "dg" for using Kf from Dickson and Riley (1979 in Dickson and Goyet, 1994). "x" is the default flag; the default value is then "pf", except if T is outside the range 9 to 33oC and/or S is outside the range 10 to 40. In these cases, the default is "dg". |
ks |
"d" for using Ks from Dickson (1990) and "k" for using Ks from Khoo et al. (1977), default is "d" |
pHscale |
"T" for the total scale, "F" for the free scale and "SWS" for using the seawater scale, default is "T" (total scale) |

gas |
used to indicate the convention for INPUT pCO2, i.e., when it is an input variable (flags 21 to 25): "insitu" indicates it is referenced to in situ pressure and in situ temperature; "potential" indicates it is referenced to 1 atm pressure and potential temperature; and "standard" indicates it is referenced to 1 atm pressure and in situ temperature. All three options should give identical results at surface pressure. This option is not used when pCO2 is not an input variable (flags 1 to 15). The default is "potential". |
NH4t |
Concentration of total ammonium in mol/kg-soln; set to 0 if NA |
HSt |
Concentration of total hydrogen sulfide in mol/kg-soln; set to 0 if NA |
Details
Calculates the "substrate-inhibitor ratio (SIR)" (i.e. [HCO3-]/[H+]) which is used as a metric to predict carbonate chemistry dependency of biotic calcium carbonate formation (Bach, 2015). Please note that hydrogen ion concentrations in the output [HCO3-]/[H+] are on the free scale, regardless of the input pH scale. We have included pH and [H+] outputs on multiple scales as a teaching exercise to show how calculating the SIR on different scales changes its meaning.
The function is based on carbfull and therefore also returns parameters of the seawater carbonate system, including the ammonium and sulfide acid- base systems, as well as full acid-base speciation.
carbfull details:
The Lueker et al. (2000) constants for K1 and K2, the Perez and Fraga (1987) constant for Kf and the Dickson (1990) constant for Ks are recommended by Dickson et al. (2007). It is, however, critical to consider that each formulation is only valid for specific ranges of temperature and salinity:
For K1 and K2:
Cai and Wang (1998): S ranging between 0 and 40 and T ranging between 0.2 and 30oC.
Roy et al. (1993): S ranging between 5 and 45 and T ranging between 0 and 45oC.
Lueker et al. (2000): S ranging between 19 and 43 and T ranging between 2 and 35oC.
Mojica Prieto et al. (2002): S ranging from 5 to 42 and T ranging between 0 and 45oC.
Millero et al. (2002): S ranging from 34 to 37 and T ranging between -1.6 and 35oC.
Millero et al. (2006): S ranging between 0.1 and 50 and T ranging between 1 and 50oC.
Millero (2010): S ranging between 1 and 50 and T ranging between 0 and 50oC. Millero (2010) provides a K1 and K2 formulation for the seawater, total and free pH scales. Therefore, when this method is used and if P=0, K1 and K2 are computed with the formulation corresponding to the pH scale given in the flag "pHscale".
Waters et al.(2014): S ranging between 1 and 50 and T ranging between 0 and 50oC. Waters (2014) provides a K1 and K2 formulation for the seawater, total and free pH scales. Therefore, when this method is used and if P=0, K1 and K2 are computed with the formulation corresponding to the pH scale given in the flag "pHscale".
Papadimitriou et al. (2018): S ranging from 33 to 100 and T ranging between -6 to 25oC.
Sulpis et al. (2020): S ranging from 30.7 to 37.6 and T ranging between -1.7 to 31.8oC.
Shockman & Byrne (2021): for K2, S ranging from 19.6 to 41 and T ranging between 15 to 35oC. For K1, formulation is that of Waters et al.
For Kf:
Perez and Fraga (1987): S ranging between 10 and 40 and T ranging between 9 and 33oC.
Dickson and Riley (1979 in Dickson and Goyet, 1994): S ranging between 0 and 45 and T ranging between 0 and 45oC.
For Ks:
Dickson (1990): S ranging between 5 and 45 and T ranging between 0 and 45oC.
Khoo et al. (1977): S ranging between 20 and 45 and T ranging between 5 and 40oC.
The arguments can be given as a unique number or as vectors. If the lengths of the vectors are different, the longer vector is retained and only the first value of the other vectors is used. It is recommended to use either vectors with the same dimension or one vector for one argument and numbers for the other arguments.
Pressure corrections and pH scale:
For K0, the pressure correction term of Weiss (1974) is used.
For K1, K2, pK1, pK2, pK3, Kw, Kb, Khs, Ksi and K2si, the pressure correction was applied on the seawater scale. Hence, if needed, values were first transformed from the total scale to the seawater scale, the pressure correction applied as described by Millero (1995), and the value was transformed back to the required scale (T, F or SWS).
For Kf, the pressure correction was applied on the free scale. The formulation of Dickson and Riley (1979 in Dickson and Goyet, 1994) provides Kf on the free scale but that of Perez and Fraga (1987) provides it on the total scale. Hence, in that case, Kf was first transformed from the total scale to the free scale. With both formulations, the pressure correction was applied as described by Millero (1995), and the value was transformed back to the required scale (T, F or SWS).
For Ks, the pressure correction was applied on the free scale. The pressure correction was applied as described by Millero (1995), and the value was transformed back to the required scale (T, F or SWS).
For Kn, the pressure correction was applied on the seawater scale. The pressure correction was applied as described by Millero (1995), and the value was transformed back to the required scale (T, F or SWS).
