moistCp: Moist Cp

In aiRthermo: Atmospheric Thermodynamics and Visualization

Moist Cp

Description

This function corrects the value of dry c_p due to the existence of water vapour acording to equation 7.11 from Tsonis (2002).

Usage

moistCp(w, consts = export_constants())

Arguments

w	A vector with mixing ratio values (kg/kg).
consts	The constants defined in aiRthermoConstants data are necessary.

Value

This function returns the value of dry c_p corrected by the mixing ratio.
