A collection of functions to convert between relative humidity (RH) (%),
vapour pressure deficit (VPD) (kPa),
dew point temperature, and leaf- or air temperature-based VPD or RH. To convert from
relative humidity to VPD,
use the RHtoVPD
function, use VPDtoRH
for the other way around. The water
vapor saturation pressure is
calculated with esat
. Use DewtoVPD
to
convert from dewpoint temperature to VPD. The functions VPDleafToAir
and VPDairToLeaf
convert VPD from a leaf temperature to an air-temperature basis and vice versa. The
functions RHleafToAir
a RHairToLeaf
do the same for relative humidity.

The function describing saturated vapor pressure with temperature is taken from Jones (1992). All other calculations follow directly from the standard definitions, for which Jones (1992) may also be consulted.
