Saturation vapor pressure as a function of temperature

Description

This function returns the saturation vapor pressure of water in the atmosphere using the nested form of the Goff-Gratch formulation as derived by Lowe (1977). Input temperature is provided in Celsius, but can be adjusted to F, K, or R. The output is in Pascals.
