Summary: | AquaEnv is an integrated software package for aquatic chemical model generation focused on ocean acidification and antropogenic CO2 uptake. However, the package is not restricted to the oceans: it calculates, converts, and visualizes information necessary to describe pH, related CO2 air-water exchange, as well as aquatic acid-base chemistry in general for marine, estuarine or freshwater systems. AquaEnv is implemented in the open source programming language R and its functionality can be seamlessly integrated into reactive-transport models. Additionally, AquaEnv provides a routine to simulate and investigate titrations of water samples with a strong acid or base, as well as a routine that allows for a determination of total alkalinity and total carbonate values from recorded titration curves using non linear curve-fitting.
