SolveSAPHE: reliable and robust carbonate system pH calculations made in Belgium

editorial reviewed ; SolveSAPHE-v1 (Solver Suite for Alkalinity-PH Equations – version 1 (Munhoven, 2013, DOI:10.5194/gmd-6-1367-2013) was the first to offer carbonate chemistry speciation calculations that were (1) robust, (2) fast, (3) universally convergent for any physically meaningful pair of total alkalinity (AT) and dissolved inorganic carbon (CT) values, and (4) self-starting, i.e., did not require any a priori knowledge of the solution. The solution approach developed for SolveSAPHE-v1 was recently extended to process AT-CO2, AT-HCO3 and AT-CO3 problems in a similar way (Munhoven, 202... Mehr ...
