Description

Partial Pressure of CO2 in Seawater provides a measure of the amount of CO2 and HCO3 in seawater. Specifically, it refers to the pressure that would be exerted by CO2 if all other gases were removed. Partial pressure of a gas dissolved in seawater is understood as the partial pressure in air that the gas would exert in a hypothetical air volume in equilibrium with that seawater. NOTE: the following calibration coefficients in the parameterfunctionmap are deprecated: "ea434", "eb434", "ea620", "eb620". Those arguments are still present in the function declaration, but they are completely unused and can be supplied with an arbitrary fill value.
