Converting Humidity Measures into Each Other
Description
Converting dew point (of water in air) into vapor pressure or relative humidity and vice versa.
Usage
hr(T, Td, warn = TRUE)
pw(Td, warn = TRUE)
pw.ai(Td, warn = TRUE)
pw.aw(Td, warn = TRUE)
Td(pw = NULL, T = NULL, hr = NULL, warn = TRUE)
Td.aw(pw = NULL, T = NULL, hr = NULL, warn = TRUE)
Tf.ai(pw = NULL, T = NULL, hr = NULL, warn = TRUE)
Arguments
hr |
Relative humidity in |
T |
Temperature of air in |
Td |
Dew point of air in |
pw |
Saturation vapour pressure in |
warn |
When |
Details
All vapour pressures correspond to pure water vapour and are not adjusted to water vapour in air.
Value
hr transforms dew point above ice / water at a certain temperature into
relative humidity (-65^\circ\textnormal{C} <= T <=
60^\circ\textnormal{C}).
pw transforms dew point into saturation vapour pressure above ice
(-65^\circ\textnormal{C} <= T <=
0^\circ\textnormal{C}) and above water (0^\circ\textnormal{C} < T <=
60^\circ\textnormal{C}) respectively.
pw.ai transforms dew point into saturation vapour
pressure above ice (-65^\circ\textnormal{C} <= T <=
0^\circ\textnormal{C}).
pw.aw transforms dew point into saturation vapour
pressure above liquid water (-45^\circ\textnormal{C} <= T <=
60^\circ\textnormal{C}).
Td transforms vapour pressure or relative humidity and
temperature into frost point above ice (-65^\circ\textnormal{C} <= T <=
0^\circ\textnormal{C}) and dew point above water (0^\circ\textnormal{C} < T <=
60^\circ\textnormal{C}) respectively.
Td.aw transforms vapour pressure or relative humidity and
temperature into dew point above water (-45^\circ\textnormal{C} <= T <=
60^\circ\textnormal{C}).
Tf.ai transforms vapour pressure or relative humidity and
temperature into frost point above ice (-65^\circ\textnormal{C} <= T <=
0^\circ\textnormal{C}).
