Description
Define a function trophic_level_index(chla , tn, tp) that takes values for Chorophyll-a (CHLA), Total Nitrogen (TN), and Total Phosphorus (TP) and returns the Trophic Index (TLI3) using the calculation below. The TLI3 is calculated as the average of the three transformed values, where each value is transformed as follows:
tlc = 2.22 + 2.54 ∗ log10CHLA tln = −3.61 + 3.01 ∗ log10TN tlp = 0.218 + 2 .92 ∗ log10TP
For example, if CHLA = 10, TN = 100, and TP = 1000, then:
tlc = 2.22 + 2.54 ∗ 1 = 4.76 tln = −3.61 + 3.01 ∗ 2 = 2.410 tlp = 0.218 + 2.92 ∗ 3 = 8.978 and TLI3 = 5.383 (to 3 decimal places)
Notes:
– The notation log10x means the logarithm to base 10 of x, i.e. the power to which 10 must be raised to yield x.
– In Python, log10x can be calculated (after importing the math module) as math.log(x, 10)
– You can assume that CHLA, TN, and TP values are positive, i.e. greater than 0.
– Your function should not round its result.
– TN, TP, and CHLA are commonly used variable names in the literature, so you can use the following variable names in your code in this assignment: tn, tp, and chla (note they are lower case).
Felicia Schoenthal –
I have received phenomenal service that is consistent. The quality of work is A+ and the prices are very reasonable.
David Leedberg –
The continued great work has been impressive.
Jonathan Cooper –
Great service! I had an assignment theory to be done and wasn’t specific enough from my side on what I exactly needed it for. Even after messaging the expert one day before, they had it done the next day by the time I requested last minute.
Alice Elkins –
My assignment had been delivered 2 days earlier and it was complete and comprehensive.
