deri_o2sat_garcia - derivation of O2 saturation from concentration

When an instrument is connected to an RBRcoda³ T.ODO. The RBRcoda³ T.ODO transfers both the foil temperature and the dissolved oxygen concentration (not compensated for salinity). The instrument calculates the concentration compensated for salinity first, then the air saturation (in %) via the following equation:

where

  • Cc is the concentration in μMol/L, compensated for salinity.

  • Patm is atmospheric pressure.

  • Pav is air vapour pressure.

Solubility is calculated via Gordon and Garcia as

where S is the salinity in PSU and Ts is defined as

 

with T being the water temperature in °C and

Air vapour pressure (in dbar) is calculated as

The corresponding logger coefficients are:

  • n0, the label of the concentration channel, already compensated for salinity.

  • n1, the label of the water temperature channel.

  • n2, the label of the salinity channel.

  • n3, the label of the atmospheric pressure channel (set to value in order to use parameters atmosphere).
