#' @title SpecificHeats
#' @description Specific heats and gas constant for moist or dry air
#' @details Calculates the specific heat at constant pressure, specific heat at constant volume, and gas constant for air having ratio of water vapor pressure to total pressure of the argument EoverP
#' @aliases specificHeats SpecificHeat specificheats specificheat

#' @param EoverP A numeric giving the ratio of water vapor pressure to total pressure
#' @return an array of dimension (n,3) containing n rows of (Cp, Cv, R), where n is the number of elements in EoverP
