MurphyKoop: MurphyKoop

In WilliamCooper/Ranadu: Functions for use with RAF aircraft data files

Description

Returns the water vapor pressure corresponding to a supplied temperature.

Usage

MurphyKoop(DP, P = 0)

Arguments

DP	A numeric vector containing the dew point in deg. C
P	An optional numeric vector representing the total pressure in hPa. Set zero to suppress the 'enhancement factor' correction for total pressure. Use the pressure to find the equilibrium water vapor in the presence of that total pressure of air.

Details

Calculates the equilibrium water vapor pressure according to the Murphy-Koop equation

Value

Water vapor pressure [hPa] in equilibrium with a plane water surface at dew point DP
