Oyster_el_time {shelltrace}

Calculate concentrations of trace elements per sub-increment

Description

Function that takes the matrix of phase pixels per sub-increment together with the matrix of concentrations per phase to calculate the concentration of each trace element in every sub-increment. de Winter, N. J. (2017) <doi:10.5194/gmd-2017-137>

Usage

Oyster_el_time(phase_mat, phases)

Arguments

phase_mat

Matrix of amounts of pixels of each phase per sub-increment

phases

Matrix containing colour and trace element data of the phases in the XRF phase map

Details

For every sub-increment, the relative contribution of phases is multiplied with the trace element concentrations of the phases to calculate the average concentration of trace elements in each sub-increment

Value

Matrix of trace element concentrations per sub-increment

el_time

Matrix of trace element concentrations through time
